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 short, emotional action-adventure game where you fight corrupted golems with a homing chakram in slow-motion combat while exploring lost childhood memories.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short, free Zelda-like adventure with a beautiful art style and a fun ranged chakram weapon. The final boss is tricky, but some find the controls unresponsive and melee combat clunky, and bugs are noted. Reviews acknowledge it as a student project.
