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 relentless arena survival game where every second is precious and careful upgrades are the only hope against an unending darkness.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying power progression and the way the screen turns into chaos as upgrades stack up. Many mention getting sucked into 'one more run' for hours. Performance is smooth even with many enemies on screen, though the game is still in early access and some hope for continued updates and polish.
