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 action game where you draw gestures to cast spells and dodge, facing waves of monsters and bosses in a magical arcade setting.

What players say

Players enjoy the unique mechanic of drawing runes to attack while dodging, but the game feels light on content and the shape recognition is sometimes finicky. Reviews note a sharp difficulty spike around level six and that combat becomes repetitive once you memorize the symbols.
