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 frantic and punishing dungeon crawl where quick reflexes and spell experimentation are key to surviving each procedurally generated run.

What players say

Players praise the spell combo system but report persistent bugs like enemies spawning out of bounds, souls failing to drop, and crashes tied to a specific spell. The game can feel slow with spongy enemies, though many find it fun and replayable once controls are adjusted.
