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 tense, methodical dungeon crawl where every enemy encounter demands precise timing and pattern recognition.

What players say

Players describe a short, challenging top-down roguelite that demands precise aiming and rewards mastery, but many feel development stalled and content is thin. Reviewers split on balance: some find it fair, others call it brutally unforgiving, especially later bosses that can one-shot. Controls are widely considered better with keyboard and mouse.
