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 grim, methodical dungeon crawler with tactical real-time combat and a constant sense of danger from lethal enemies and sadistic traps.

What players say

Players praise the handcrafted levels and tactical depth, noting combat requires positioning and careful thinking rather than just clicking. Some find the combat repetitive or complain about the short 6-hour playthrough, while the childish character models clash with a serious vampire story.
