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 stylish, fast-paced action RPG with crisp pixel art where you summon heroes across time for arcade-like combat against void enemies.

What players say

Players are split on this pixel ARPG. Many call it a buggy mess with janky controls, a gacha system for heroes, and roguelike tower climbing that takes too long per run. The translation is poor, and controller support is broken. On the plus side, some enjoy the combat and pixel art, but warn that it requires patience for the jank.
