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 quick climb through a tower, clearing enemies floor by floor in simple, arcade-like action.

What players say

Players are split on the sequel. Some find it more fun than the first, but others say the ending is poorly balanced, relying on random bonus rooms to survive and a final boss that becomes trivial with one specific upgrade. Multiple reports of steam cloud wiping save files.
