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 hack-and-slash roguelike that rewards exploration with procedurally generated loot and pixel art inspired by classic SNES RPGs.

What players say

Players say the game looks charming and captures a nostalgic pixel-art feel, but most agree it runs shallow and short, with a first win often coming in under an hour. Reviews split: some enjoy it as a cheap distraction, others call it broken with janky controls and bugs, and a few note the developer has stopped updating it.
