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 relentless 2D roguelite shooter where you blast through alien hordes in procedurally generated levels, facing permanent death upon failure.

What players say

Players are drawn to the pixel art and the addictive loop of upgrading weapons and dying repeatedly, but they note the enemy AI is basic and the music quickly gets repetitive. Controller support is a common pain point, with one player uploading a custom layout to compensate.
