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 fast, reactive 2D platformer where each run demands split-second decisions and gradual build optimization against increasingly tough bosses.

What players say
Players praise the smooth combat and fluid animations, comparing it favorably to Dead Cells. The build variety with spells and character-specific weapons keeps runs fresh, though some feel on-hit abilities dominate over spells. The game supports co-op and includes a seed system for customizing runs.
