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 frantic and punishing arena shooter where each death pushes you to evolve your build before diving back into a dark fantasy slaughter.

What players say

Players draw comparisons to Ultrakill and Hades, but many say the movement feels floaty and lacks aerial momentum. Runs become repetitive quickly, and while early bosses are easy, the final boss is a steep difficulty spike. Reviews are split on whether the permadeath suits the game's content variety.
