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 fast-paced, colorful hack-and-slash with strategic upgrades and relentless waves, wrapped in a comic-book aesthetic and a psychedelic, atmospheric tone.

What players say

Players praise the surreal art style and nostalgic 90s platformer feel, but are split on controls and camera. Movement feels floaty, combat lacks lock-on, and some report camera-induced motion sickness, while others find the world exploration and music captivating.
