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 pixel-art action RPG with responsive, challenging combat that feels like a speedy, dark fantasy dungeon crawl.

What players say

Players praise the Slavic theme and fluid combat, but many find runs repetitive and the meta progression too slow. The difficulty jumps sharply on bosses, and local co-op has game-breaking screen glitches. Development appears to have stalled after adding multiplayer.
