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 relentless, arena-based duel where you respawn instantly and must keep up a frantic, tactical rhythm to survive and outsmart your opponent.

What players say

Players say the game is a single-room boss fight that can be beaten in under a minute, leaving little to do afterward. Some enjoy the challenge and speedrunning, while others find it shallow and consider the shield useless.
