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.

What players say

Players praise the combat: parries and perfect dodges feel rewarding, and the roguelite builds keep runs varied. They split on difficulty, some find it forgiving, others call it hardcore. Many criticize the strict backstab hitbox and rough visuals, noting it is a solo dev project. Long-time players mention the new raid mode added later.
