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 lonely journey through an underground cave system with a self-reloading musket, mixing historical setting with sci-fi elements and challenging combat.

What players say

Players agree it is a very short, budget metroidvania from a first-time developer. They warn of a miserable opening before the first upgrade, sparse enemy variety, and long empty corridors, but say the bosses are enjoyable and the low price makes it worth a look for tolerant players.
