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.

A frantic, punishing battle through mythological trials where each mistake teaches you how to survive the next wave.

What players say

Players praise the Finnish mythology setting and atmospheric visuals, but are split on the meta-progression, some find it unrewarding while others enjoy incremental unlocks. The game is consistently described as very difficult, often compared to Vampire Survivors but harder.
