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 grim, methodical ARPG that feels like trudging through a broken world where every scrap of gear matters and your carefully built class combination steadily grows in power.

What players say

Players praise the dual-class system and build variety, calling it one of the best ARPGs. They appreciate the offline play and lack of microtransactions, but note the complex endgame requires external databases or apps for items and builds.
