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 play as a pyromancer exploring a dark forest, using fire attacks to fight monsters in a casual, action-roguelike 2D adventure.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a cheap asset flip barely worth zero hours, while others enjoy a casual arena shooter to unwind after work. Over half the reviews flag a single map, lacking enemy variety and missing visual feedback for the fireball spell. The price is widely considered too high unless bought in a bundle.
