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 deliberate, build-focused roguelite where planning your bullets before firing is key.

What players say

Players describe it as a bullet-based spin on Luck be a Landlord, where you arrange elemental bullets in a magazine and fire them at enemies. The game is very luck-driven: early runs can be decided by random loot and the bullet synergy system feels sometimes inconsistent.
