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 tense, punishing hack-and-slash crawl through a dark gothic world where every item choice feels like a high-stakes gamble.

What players say

Players agree the game has potential and an appealing pixel art style, but they are sharply split on its value. Many warn that updates stalled despite paid early access, the campaign is only about an hour long, and progress resets on restart. Others enjoy the unique campfire shops and challenging combat, but even fans call it unfinished.
