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 fast-paced hack and slash adventure through Inca mythology, defined by its mythological setting and female-led combat.

What players say

Players appreciate the unique Latin American setting, comic book art, and the rich mythology, but are split on the gameplay. Many criticize the clunky controls, spell delay, and severe difficulty spikes, especially the final boss. Some note the game feels abandoned with no updates since 2022, and the lack of endgame content.
