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 tough sci-fi platformer with procedural levels and weapon choices that feels like a work in progress.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and challenging roguelike action, but many find it frustrating and often forget to use special abilities. The game compares favorably to Risk of Rain and Binding of Isaac.
