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 chaotic, fast-paced vertical climb through hell with pixelated gore and heavy metal riffs, demanding quick reflexes and combo chaining.

What players say

Players praise the snappy combat and heavy metal aesthetic, but split on the game's length and replayability. Some find the boss fights overly long and the levels too samey, while others enjoy the addictive challenge. Keyboard controls draw complaints.
