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 pixelated rogue-like where you control a headless character using their own head as a weapon, bouncing through levels and fighting enemies in an old castle.

What players say

Players enjoy the creative mix of brick-breaker and roguelike genres, but many find it too hard and frustrating with mouse-only controls, clunky physics, and bugs like getting stuck. The game is short, though the pixel art and music are praised.
