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

You fight waves of monsters and bosses with a variety of abilities in a top-down pixel-art brawler.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many report the game is broken with bugs, a confusing UI, no tutorial or documentation, and the need to create a third-party account just to play. Others appreciate the retro feel, build variety, and a solo developer they describe as invested. A common warning: the PvP servers are dead and the developer has been known to ban players without explanation.
