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 rhythmic hack-and-slash where the music drives fast-paced combat through roguelite runs.

What players say

Players compare it to a rhythm-based Hades, praising the soundtrack and the beat-synced combat. But most say upgrades feel meaningless, the three weapons are all you ever get, and runs grow repetitive, enemy health scales up too far, dragging fights. Reviews split on whether the rhythm hook overcomes the shallow loop.
