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

You guide a cute, stationary leader while an automated team of collected slimes attacks and protects you in gentle bullet-hell style combat.

What players say

Players compare it to Vampire Survivors but with four slimes as automatic weapons that evolve as they level up. Reviewers say the game is fun for a few hours but gets repetitive quickly, and report bugs like a slime that heals enemies and one that breaks progression. Players also note missing quality-of-life features, unclear mechanics, and rough English or lack of Chinese translation.
