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 action roguelike with a colorful, hand-drawn art style and procedural runs.

What players say

Players compare this to Hades and Warm Snow, praising the ink-brush art style and fast runs but criticizing balance. Builds feel either overpowered or underpowered, and high difficulty forces specific strategies. The game has performance problems and a lack of variety in endgame builds, with players split on its depth.
