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

You play as a giant fire-breathing cat rampaging through a medieval army, tearing through tiny enemies with escalating supernatural powers in a fast, chaotic power fantasy.

What players say

Players say you play as a giant demon cat that feels surprisingly fragile, requiring careful kiting and tactical play rather than a power fantasy. The controls and UI are rough, and the campaign is short, but those who persist find a challenging roguelite with a unique premise.
