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 grimly atmospheric historical fantasy that mixes methodical puzzle-solving, tactical swordplay, and stealth in a darkly humorous world.

What players say

Players praise the historical setting and story but are split on combat and controls. Many find the camera and movement clunky, making combat and climbing frustrating. Puzzles are thoughtful yet sometimes confusing. The game is compared to a rough Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with simple graphics and a heavy fantasy twist to the historical backdrop.
