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 2D side-scrolling action game with classic platforming, gothic horror aesthetics, and exploration-driven progression.

What players say

Players praise the game as a love letter to NES-era Castlevania with Mega Man X mechanics, but many criticize its lack of volume settings, a map, and controller rebinding, plus unfinished translations. Opinions split on difficulty, some find it rewarding after initial frustration, while others call it too short and dull.
