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 tense, punishing 2D action-roguelite platformer with destructible terrain and perma-death, demanding precise movement and quick reflexes.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Spelunky and Binding of Isaac, praising its variety, meta progression without permanent stat boosts, and the developer's distinct style. Some find the controls clunky and deaths cheap, but most say it rewards mastery.
