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, customizable action-roguelike where you craft weaponry from scavenged parts while exploring procedurally generated facilities in tight, high-stakes runs.

What players say

Players praise the weapon customization that lets them combine upgrades into creative builds, and find the controls tight and the difficulty fair. However, reviews agree that content is limited to three bosses and a small map, and that development stopped in 2021.
