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

Playing feels like wacky, retro-styled action where you fling hot air at comical zombies and demons in a Japanese-style sauna underworld.

What players say

Players enjoy the quirky premise of a sauna-themed survivors-like with a reverse bullet hell twist, though many note the early game is grindy and the controls can be awkward. The pixel art is widely praised and players appreciate the developer's active updates.
