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 lighthearted action romp where you fly through dungeons, raise skeleton minions, and gather loot against waves of enemies.

What players say

Players praise the unique twist on the survivor genre, where you build a horde of minions that grow stronger over time. Many find it relaxing with meaningful choices, though the early game can feel slow and grindy. Some report lag on Steam Deck when too many enemies appear, and players split on whether the game has enough content.
