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 first-person melee roguelike where you die quickly, loot relentlessly, and try to climb out of a procedurally generated dungeon.

What players say

Players are split on whether the clunk and lack of pause add to the challenge or just frustrate. The game is brutally hard with permadeath and cheap shots, but its loot variety and silly tone keep many coming back for more runs.
