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, loot-driven action roguelike where you mine, craft weapons, and blast through bullet hell hordes with physics-based chaos.

What players say

Players describe this as a mining-focused twin-stick roguelike that combines elements of Binding of Isaac and Minecraft. The pacing divides opinion: the early game feels slow due to slow mining and unclear objectives, while late-game upgrades turn combat into a power trip with rapid-fire upgrades. Guidance is often criticized as lacking, leaving players unsure where to go next.
