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 quick, lighthearted action romp with flashy anime-style combat and a silly tone, designed for short play sessions.

What players say

Players describe a simple 2D beat-em-up with roguelike elements, where combat boils down to mashing attack and using cooldown abilities on a flat plane with no jump. The game features many characters copied from other franchises, but the roguelite part feels static and repetitive. Some find it fun and easy to pick up, others say it lacks variety in skills and enemies.
