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 explore a fresh pixel world each run, gathering resources and forging gear while surviving permadeath.

What players say

Players appreciate the pixel art and sense of discovery, but many find the game confusing at the start with no tutorial. Combat is often called unengaging and the progression shallow. The developer went silent for long stretches, and late updates have been minimal, leaving some players disappointed.
