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 score-attack hack-and-slash with wave-based combat and procedural dungeons that feels like a pulse-pumping arcade blitz.

What players say

Players praise the chiptune soundtrack and crunchy art style but are split on controls: keyboard is widely called unplayable, with a controller (especially SNES-style) recommended. The game is fast and challenging, with some calling it addictively random while others find enemies frustrating and deaths cheap.
