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

You frantically dodge and blast through randomly generated dungeons, knowing one mistake means starting over from scratch.

What players say

Players compare it to The Binding of Isaac, calling it a much easier and simpler clone. The cute art style is praised, but many say runs lack variety, content is sparse, and the game is short or outdated. Opinions split on the challenge: some find it too easy, others cite frustrating one-shot deaths.
