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 procedurally generated metroidvania where each run reshuffles maps, dungeons, and bosses, blending exploration with energy-management decisions.

What players say

Players compare it to Metroid Prime and appreciate the randomly generated world and unique battery system, but many report frustrating issues like getting stuck in walls, no invincibility frames, annoying knockback, and no way to adjust volume separately.
