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, top-down arena brawler where you're constantly losing power and forced to fight without slowing down to survive.

What players say

Players are split on this game. Some call it a fun, fast-paced arcade dungeon crawler with a unique weapon durability system that forces constant weapon switching. Others find it repetitive and say it lacks the depth of true roguelikes like Binding of Isaac, describing it as a simple button-masher.
