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

Fast-paced fantasy action with bullet-hell combat and creature collection, played from an isometric perspective with hand-drawn visuals.

What players say

Players praise the creature-collecting twist and gorgeous art, but many find the first hour frustrating due to bad hitboxes and pets that die too easily. There is broad agreement that the game runs short, with most finishing in around 5 to 6 hours. Some split on difficulty: a few call it trivial with the right combos, while others find enemies too tanky at high levels.
