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 twin-stick bullet hell where you dodge dense enemy fire as a cute pixel-art Vampire protagonist in procedurally generated dungeons.

What players say

Players praise the cute art but nearly all agree the game is extremely short and easy, with most finishing everything in one to three hours. Many say there is no replay value because the single level repeats and variety is minimal. Development appears abandoned, with no update in over a year.
