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 blend of frantic horde combat and relaxed monster farming where your defeated creatures come back as seeds to grow stronger hybrids.

What players say

This Vampire Survivors clone adds a plant-farming twist where you grow and merge Whispikes across runs. Players are split: some enjoy the short, intense sessions and breeding mechanic, but many find the game unpolished, with no meta progression and all progress lost if the boss kills you. Attacks feel sluggish even when maxed, and the enemy waves swarm too aggressively for the slow movement.
