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 frantic, upgrade-driven survival game where you dodge swarms and make split-second decisions while your dog fights automatically.

What players say

Players compare this to Megabonk and Vampire Survivors, calling it a dog-themed arena survival roguelite that is surprisingly addictive. Opinions split on controls and camera, which some say need polish, while others enjoy flying over hills and the leaderboard. Reviewers praise the developer for acting on demo feedback and find it good for background play.
