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 hectic, combat-focused dungeon crawl where you relentlessly fight monsters, upgrade your hero, and push through dangerous levels.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and personality, but widespread bugs ruin the experience: bosses respawn infinitely, the arena achievements are broken, and fullscreen breaks input. Combat is described as too slow for enemies that become suddenly fast, and there have been no updates in years. Player sentiment is split between those charmed by its soul and those frustrated by its broken state.
