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

You fight through endless enemy hordes using runes, striving to survive long enough to face each stage's boss.

What players say

Players praise the original rune-shooting mechanic that sets it apart from other survivors-likes, with a high difficulty that feels rewarding. The game offers many upgrades between runs, though some find the progression grindy, and a few note that level obstacles are not always easy to see.
