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 free-form action-adventure where you choose your own path against mythological spirits, with difficulty that shifts based on your decisions.

What players say

Players praise the boss variety and the freedom to choose the order you fight them, since later bosses get tougher and gain new moves. The difficulty is steep, but people find it fair once patterns click, comparing it to Hollow Knight and Cuphead. Some split on the dodge timing and the lack of a practice mode, while others say the limited lives keep you focused.
