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 cute but intense action game where timing parries and building tactical decks drive the fast-paced mining and combat.

What players say

Players praise the simple three-button combat built around parrying, calling it engaging and satisfying when mastered. Many say the main story is short at around two to three hours, but post-game dungeons spike sharply in difficulty. Some criticize the lack of a clear cue for parry timing, especially early on.
