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, retro-styled action roguelike blending bullet hell and souls-like combat with psychedelic vaporwave visuals and procedurally generated levels.

What players say

Players enjoy the build variety and smooth movement, but some find the controls clunky and enemy variety lacking. A split exists on balance: some say special-attack builds dominate, while others see depth, and unlock progression is criticized as too random.
