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-paced, challenging roguelike where each monochromatic run through procedurally generated labs and dungeons feels tense and rewarding, with a retro arcade pulse.

What players say

Players say it is a short, rewarding bullet hell with auto-aim and a shooting slowdown mechanic that adds tension. Split on whether it feels like Vampire Survivors, and some wish it were longer, but most agree it is great for the price.
