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

Relentless hand-drawn combat against hordes in a shifting labyrinth, with a tension between embracing dark power or clinging to humanity.

What players say

Players praise the art style and colossal boss fights, but opinions split on exploration: some find it linear and bare bones, while others enjoy the roguelite-like permanent upgrades. The game is short, and combat relies on waves of enemies rather than precise platforming.
