The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A punishing fantasy adventure where you cautiously explore dungeons, manage gear, and rely on careful combat against dangerous foes, with optional online co-op to lighten the tension.

What players say

Players praise the short 3–5 hour run and cheap price, but are split on the deliberately slow, methodical combat: some find it rewarding once it clicks, others say it feels clunky and the stamina system overly punishes blocking and parrying. Cooperative play works well and the game runs fine on low-end machines, though a few report poor performance on very old hardware.
