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, cooperative side-scrolling RPG with colorful pixel graphics and a focus on dungeon crawling and hack and slash combat.

What players say

Players compare it to Maplestory and praise the character build variety and respec freedom, but they are split on the platforming difficulty and note the main story is short with only four bosses. Some report frequent crashes in multiplayer and that the game no longer works on Linux.
