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 high-energy Metroidvanian adventure with responsive platforming and quick combat, driven by deep character progression.

What players say

Players praise the chip system for creative builds and the six difficulty settings that change enemy behavior, not just stats. Some complain about corpse runs and boss runs feeling dated. The developer is responsive, fixing crashes and bugs within hours.
