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 tense, punishing platformer that demands quick thinking and precise reactions in ever-changing, deadly labyrinths.

What players say

Players call it a free, hardcore roguelike platformer where you navigate randomly generated rooms full of turrets. The one-life permadeath and fast deaths make it challenging, but some find the movement clunky, the visuals repetitive, and note that development appears stalled since early access.
