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 quick, chaotic arcade romp where you blast and slash through monster hordes, tweaking your spell loadout between runs.

What players say

Players enjoy the quick 30-minute runs and customizable playstyles, but note combat gets repetitive with endless monster hordes. Some players also report the developer has gone silent.
