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

You explore a grim medieval open world, balancing magic and melee combat while freely gathering resources to forge your own gear.

What players say

Players are split on Hidden Heir. Many praise its ambitious world and atmosphere, especially as a Turkish indie title. But a larger number report it feels unfinished: combat is janky, key bindings cannot be changed, the UI is awkward, controllers cause black-screen bugs, and there is no visible save system. Sentiment is that it needs significant development time.
