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 gradually intensifying bullet hell survival game that starts relaxed and escalates to challenging strategic defenses against undead waves.

What players say

Players say that every stage uses the same enemies and bosses, with only slight HP increases. Class variety is weak, though the lightning hero is notably stronger than the rest. The game is fun for short, casual sessions, but many find the lack of map or enemy variety repetitive. Performance on Steam Deck suffers with heavy lag in later waves.
