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 retro-inspired arena shooter with fast melee combat and exploration through a colorful gothic open world.

What players say

Players praise the unique Doom-engine Castlevania fusion and striking art style, but opinions split on the difficulty and design. Some love the creative bosses and open-ended exploration, while others find the combat frustrating with no block button and unforgiving damage. It is short, free, and best experienced for its atmosphere.
