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 rhythm-driven hack-and-slash where you must precisely block and counter enemy attacks to survive.

What players say

Players praise the art, story, and roguelite progression but find the rhythm element weak, often relying on visual timing rather than music. The game is very short, with only four maps and under an hour to finish, leading to complaints of repetitiveness and overly long waits between bosses.
