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 fast-paced roguelike shooter where you blast through hand-drawn levels, constantly upgrading your build with new weapons and power-ups.

What players say

Players praise the addictive loop and build variety but warn about bugs that can brick runs and a shallow early-game feel. Some call it a high-difficulty survivor-like with a Slay the Spire-style map, while others say it feels like a cheap mobile game.
