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 arena roguelike where you build synergistic item combos to automatically mow down waves of enemies and bosses.

What players say

Players are split on SHPR. Some enjoy the minimalistic style and movement, but many say poor pacing, underwhelming upgrades, and imbalanced weapons make combat a chore. Boss difficulty spikes can feel insurmountable without the right build, and the game lacks variety and depth compared to similar titles.
