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 play as an undead knight in a punishing top-down action roguelike, dodge-rolling through underground arenas and collecting resources to restore power.

What players say

Players describe a short, combat-focused roguelike with no story and several weapons. Many note the deliberate, slow attack combos that rely on precise blocking, and a few complain that the game is keyboard-only with some UI frustrations.
