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 modestly paced 2D platformer with roguelike elements and a fantasy setting, focusing on progression through corrupted lands.

What players say

Players are split on this free student project. Some appreciate the charm and upgrade mechanic, while others criticize the generic procedurally generated levels, limited enemy variety, and unclear collision damage. A notable complaint is the lack of save progress, making it hard for those with limited time.
