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 frantic pixel-art survival roguelike where players coordinate as unique sealers to survive escalating chaos and perma-death.

What players say

Players say the game is essentially abandoned with no updates for over a year, leaving a promising but unfinished shell. It is a clear take on Risk of Rain 1, and while local co-op works, the lack of online multiplayer and developer abandonment hold it back.
