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 2D roguelike shooter where you fly through procedurally generated dungeons, relying solely on skill and knowledge as you lose everything upon death.

What players say

Players praise the music and art but say the PC port has clunky controls, particularly the lack of aim inversion and mouse support, making it hard to play with keyboard or controller.
