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 frantic arcade runner where you control a helpless head, collecting gold while managing a tiny health bar in a punishing, pixelated medieval world

What players say

Players are split on this 2D runner. Some find it charming and addictive, praising the unique upgrade system where you buy back body parts, while others call it a grindy mobile port with repetitive levels and lock content behind a newsletter.
