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 deliberate, cautious hack-and-slash where every hit matters and healing is absent, demanding careful defense and timing against enemies that can kill you quickly.

What players say

Players say this is a rough, short Unity project that feels like an asset flip. Janky combat, buggy NPCs, and a high price tag drive most negative reviews, though some find it acceptable at a deep discount or enjoy it for quick achievements.
