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, pixelated hack-and-slash where you chain attacks while battling demons through a supernatural hellscape.

What players say

Players praise the physics-based combat and flow state it creates, comparing it to Hotline Miami. The game is short, around 40 minutes, but has replayability through challenges and upgrades. Some find the second level a difficulty spike, and players warn about wrist or thumb strain in longer sessions.
