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 brief, tense race against a 60-second clock, where every sword strike steals seconds to survive while exploring a simple top-down world.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short, free action game where time is both your health and resource. Many finish it in 25-30 minutes and call it easy. The 8-bit aesthetic and time-as-hp mechanic are praised, though some wish it were longer or more challenging. Comparisons to Minit are common.
