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 fast-paced, darkly comic 2D action roguelike where you hack and slash through hordes of demons in a netherworld deal with Yama.

What players say

Players praise the parry system that can reflect almost anything, but criticize slow meta-progression, long loading screens, and shallow roguelike elements. Opinion splits on difficulty and combat feel, with some calling it clunky and others decent for the price.
