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 and a partner frantically blast through hordes of enemies with auto-attacking abilities, constantly upgrading your skills through synergistic relics in a dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players say the game feels like an unfinished concept demo, short on content with only two characters and six levels. Difficulty spikes sharply, partly because healing is nearly absent. Several reviewers accuse the developer of abandoning the game to work on another, while a minority enjoy the build variety and cheap price for quick co-op fun.
