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 and punishing retro action-adventure where you dodge, slash, and use dark powers through grim dungeons and tough boss fights.

What players say

Players compare it to Legend of Zelda and Bloodborne, praising the pixel art and boss fights. However, many say the itemization is weak and enemy variety lacking, making combat feel repetitive. The story is often called confusing, and some technical roughness, like visual bugs, is noted. It lands as decent for fans on sale.
