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 relentless, high-speed bullet hell roguelike where you focus purely on combat and survival, weaving through waves of enemies and tough bosses without any downtime.

What players say

Players praise the challenging bullet-hell action and soundtrack, comparing it to Vampire Survivor and Slay the Spire. They split on the rough, no-tutorial presentation: some love it, others find it frustrating, and there are complaints about not being able to inspect items during a run.
