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 grim, punishing journey through a crumbling orphanage where every room is a deadly tactical puzzle and each mistake resets all progress.

What players say
Players compare it to The Binding of Isaac and praise its dark art style and school setting, but the combat is weighed down by janky controls, tanky enemies, and a spike in difficulty, especially late in a run. Development stopped without addressing many issues, so what exists feels unfinished.
