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 roguelite where you fight through hordes of enemies using light-powered weapons in a narrative-driven steampunk world.

What players say

Players describe Luminaria as a Vampire Survivors-like with a steampunk look and a co-op mode that supports up to four players through Remote Play. The screen gradually darkens as a run goes on, making light upgrades more important. A few early reviews report bugs that break local co-op, and some find the difficulty uneven with invisible one-hit kills.
