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
Trapped in a shifting non-euclidean labyrinth, each run is a tense, disorienting push forward against fourth-dimensional horrors with permanent consequences.

What players say
Players praise the lo-fi VHS aesthetic and eerie soundtrack, but many say the controls feel clumsy and the dash is unreliable. The game is compared to The Binding of Isaac as a side-scrolling roguelite, with opinions split on whether its unpolished mechanics ruin the experience.
