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 fast, loot-heavy dungeon romp that mixes Soulslike dodging with Diablo-style loot showers, rewarding repeated runs with satisfying character builds.

What players say

Players praise the build variety and loot system but are split on the game's execution. Combat is clunky, the UI is poor, and co-op can reset player progress. A single developer updates the game slowly, and the multiplayer is mostly empty.
