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

You explore a serene yet broken fantasy world, piecing together its hidden truth through platforming, bullet hell combat, and light RPG progression.

What players say

Players praise the art style, but nearly all agree the game is unfinished after years in early access. The map is confusing, guidance is missing, and story content is thin. Many worry development has stalled, though a few appreciate the visual and the devs' early responsiveness.
