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 chaotic yet accessible action romp where you craft whimsical wands and blast through frog armies in top-down bullet-hell battles.

What players say

Players are split on this Vampire Survivors-like. The wand crafting gimmick is novel but feels inconsequential, and the game is very short and easy, with a tedious 100-wand achievement. Some call it a fun, bite-sized survivor game, while others say it is half-baked, boring, and that the developers have made empty promises about fixes.
