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 fast-paced typing gauntlet where you fend off demonic foes in a dark, pixel-art cemetery with dynamic weather and a haunting original score.

What players say

Players love the chill aesthetic and music, but the actual typing mechanics frustrate some: there is no feedback on mistakes and no keystroke to submit a word, so partial matches get typed into other words. The difficulty also jumps abruptly from easy to punishing.
