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 retro action game where you frantically protect a stone witch from waves of monsters, balancing resource collection and timed power-ups.

What players say

Players praise the simple but deeper-than-expected gameplay, but note the main story is short at around two hours and requires grinding gold for upgrades. Many wish the developer would bring the sequels to PC.
