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.

A fast-paced action game with a clean, minimalist visual style and rhythmic gameplay.

What players say

Players praise the heavy metal soundtrack that changes with your build, and the pixel art captures an eldritch metal vibe. Combat is tough but rewarding, though some find it clunky or wish for an easier mode. Runs stay fresh thanks to randomized tracks and relics. It runs well on Steam Deck.
