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 cute, arcadey twin-stick shooter that feels fast-paced and forgiving, with short runs and randomized builds.

What players say

Players say the game is a solid but abandoned vampire survivor clone. The core loop is fun for about ten hours, then turns repetitive across its 15 difficulty stages. Performance issues (freezing with many enemies) and an overpowered meta build are common complaints, while development support stopped without full polish.
