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 punishing retro action-adventure that feels like a grim, gory metroidvania where every swing and decision carries weight

What players say

Players praise it as a tight, retro-style metroidvania that wears its Castlevania 2 inspiration proudly. Combat is punishing but fair, with snappy controls. The morality system has real consequences and multiple endings encourage replays. A frequent complaint is the abundance of instant-kill pitfall traps, especially in later dungeons.
