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, skill-based melee brawler where every slash and parry keeps you on edge, demanding quick reflexes and strategic adaptation against tough foes.

What players say

Players call this a short, free student-made soulslike with solid combat ideas but janky execution. Bosses have multiple phases and demand precise parries, though some find the hitboxes unfair. Reviews split on whether the AI-generated items ruin the atmosphere or are forgivable for a free game.
