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, medieval dark fantasy action RPG where each death pushes you forward through atmospheric dungeons and challenging combat.

What players say

Players praise the dark fantasy theme, old school graphics, and variety of builds. But the game is widely considered abandoned by its developers, with updates stalled for over a year and a progress-blocking bug left unfixed. Only one short, unchanging location wears thin.
