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 tense, fast-paced 2D action game where deliberate aiming and gem-powered combos create a bloody symphony of precise, impactful sword fights.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying one-hit-kill slash combat and bouncy soundtrack, but many find the game unfinished and shallow. It is often compared to Downwell but considered inferior. Hard mode has jank issues, and content is sparse with no updates since launch.
