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 frantic, tactical RPG where every second counts and you must adapt your build mid-battle in a cryptic, minimalist dystopia.

What players say

Players praise the addictive 5-minute run loop that keeps them saying 'one more run,' with permanent progression and a real-time leveling system that rewards both luck and skill. Controls are often called stiff and the visuals minimalist, and players are split on whether these rough edges are easy to overlook.
