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 free-to-play roguelike where you choose weapons of increasing rarity and try to grind your way past a demon lord's army.

What players say

Players report that the sound does not work despite enabling it in settings, and movement is painfully slow without a dodge roll. The core loop of picking a weapon per room and clearing enemies becomes repetitive quickly, with progression bugs like getting stuck between rooms. Opinions are mixed on whether the game will improve.
