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

Each run feels like a brisk, upgrade-driven jaunt through a dangerous but comedic dungeon, where death resets progress but unlocks new options.

What players say

Players compare it to Hades and Rogue Legacy but find it less polished and more grindy. Combat gets repetitive, gold does not carry over between runs, and traps can feel unfair. Some praise the progression and addictiveness, while others call the mechanics annoying and the RNG frustrating.
