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 lighthearted action romp where you smash cartoonish enemies with a frying pan, blending frantic combat with a quirky low-poly world.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn anime art and the way the game shifts genres every few stages, keeping the short three-hour run unpredictable. The difficulty is high and there are no checkpoints, which some find rewarding and others frustrating, especially when paired with stiff controls and poor block timing.
