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

Frantically dodging and weaving through dense bullet patterns while upgrading spell cards exponentially to survive waves of fairy thieves.

What players say

Players praise the hex-grid upgrade system and stamina mechanic that force adaptable builds, and enjoy the daily spell card bonuses tied to the day of the week. However, they note that meta-progression is grindy, replayability is limited by low weapon variety, and development stopped after 2022 with no new maps or updates.
