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 platform shooter with roguelike permadeath, tight movement, and chaotic enemy interactions.

What players say

Players praise the time-as-currency mechanic and randomized levels for adding variety, but find the game punishingly difficult with slippery controls and some bugs. The short run (around 5-20 minutes) and frequent updates keep it engaging, though many note it feels like an early demo.
