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

Challenging combat in a colorful medieval fantasy world with a focus on action-adventure and roguelike progression.

What players say

A brief action-adventure that channels early 3D Zelda but feels unpolished. Players praise the interesting enemies and story, but criticize stiff combat with fixed animations and the lack of checkpoints. Bosses outside the last one are easy to beat from behind.
