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 chaotic co-op roguelite with fast-paced side-scrolling combat, pixel art, and plenty of items to mix into unpredictable builds.

What players say

Players compare it to a 2D Risk of Rain for its item-based builds and respawning enemies, but opinions split on whether that chaos is fun or frustrating. The game is praised for its low price and many unlockables, while complaints center on missing local co-op, clunky controls, collision damage killing instantly, and items being hard to read mid-action.
