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 deliberate souls-like action RPG where careful parrying and stamina management define tense medieval combat.

What players say
Players compare it to Sekiro for its parry-focused combat rather than dodge-rolling. It is a short, janky but enjoyable indie soulslike from a solo developer, though some call the animations clunky and it does not run on Steam Deck.
