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 blistering, stylish rush of card-fueled parkour and demon-slaying, where every second counts and shortcuts are a reward for clever play

What players say

Players love the addictive speedrunning loop and Machine Girl soundtrack, but are split on the writing, some find it charmingly campy, others cringy and skippable. The game rewards optimizing your time for better medals, though some found a lingering endgame bug that was never fixed.
