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 top-down shooter where you survive waves of enemies and upgrade your character with random relics between runs.

What players say

Players say the game is a barebones Vampire Survivors clone with only one weapon and one character, making it feel incomplete. The manual shooting and slow pacing contrast with the genre's usual autofire and power fantasy, and while runs are short at about 13 minutes, the lack of variety means little reason to replay after a clear.
