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 fast-paced pixelated power fantasy where you mow down hordes as you grow from a weakling to an elemental god.

What players say

Players are split on this Vampire Survivors-style game. Some enjoy the music and character designs while others say balance is poor: one weapon, the vortex ring, makes most runs trivial, but avoiding it leaves you too weak for bosses. Many note the 4-slot weapon limit feels restrictive, and the meta-progression grind is slow for the short 10-hour completion time.
