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 fast-paced side-scrolling action game where you collect artifacts, upgrade skills and equipment, and grow your power through repeated runs.

What players say

Players enjoy the early loop of auto-battling and mixing disposable and permanent gear, calling it addictive and well-paced for a few hours. However, many say the endgame turns into a grind because unlocking the skill tree becomes painfully slow, and restarting from level 1 past 3000 meters makes losses feel punishing.
