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 janky, meme-fueled hack-and-slash romp where ancient Slavic heroes fight lizard hordes in over-the-top cinematic battles.

What players say

Players are split, many find it a hilariously broken meme game with deep Slavic flavor and janky combat, while others call it an unplayable copy of the original. Most agree it is more about absurdity and community joy than polished mechanics.
