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 tough side-scrolling boss rush where relentless dodging is key to overcoming colorful, pixelated thieves and earning a hard-fought victory.

What players say

Players call this a challenging boss rush with tight controls and pixel art that reminds some of Dungreed or Cuphead. It takes 2 to 7 hours to finish, with 20 bosses that gradually increase in difficulty. An assist mode exists but only doubles damage and skill gauge, which some found underwhelming.
