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 charming twin-stick action roguelike with chaotic combat and minimalistic atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the charming pixel art and mysterious atmosphere, but many find the combat and exploration tedious. The game is hard without satisfying progression, and a common complaint is having only three levels and one boss. Performance issues like stutters and long load times are also frequently noted.
