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, punishing dungeon crawl where physics amplify the chaos and dark humor laces the bloodshed.

What players say

Players praise the inventive mouse-swinging combat and humorous dialogue between Skull and the imp, but split on whether the controls work well with a gamepad versus a mouse. Many note glitches, spelling errors, and that the game is short at around 2-3 hours.
