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 chaotic scramble through cute but bullet-filled dungeons where reflexes and random loot decide each run's fate.

What players say

Players describe a solid twin-stick roguelite with satisfying shooting and permanent upgrades that reduce grind. Boss fights are challenging bullet-hell encounters. Some note camera tracking can be awkward and controller detection on PC is buggy. Reviews split on quality, with a minority calling it low-effort shovelware.
