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 frantic, fast-paced bullet-hell shooter with constant risk of death and progression through legacy.

What players say

Players loved this permadeath MMO with roguelike elements, but the servers shut down in 2019 and the game is unplayable, leaving a community that misses it and wishes development had continued.
