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 pixel-art run-and-gun where each death resets your map and gear, demanding careful exploration and precise combat against undead hordes.

What players say

Players say this is a hardcore Metroidvania with retro design choices like infinite enemy respawning and knockback stun, which frustrates many. They split on whether its old-school feel is charming or tedious, with a unique death mechanic that forces you to fight your previous corpse.
