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

You pet a cat to unleash powerful attacks while fighting off waves of enemies.

What players say

Players love the cute cat and petting mechanic, but many split on the design that forces mouse wiggling, which strains wrists. Runs are short at under two hours, and players criticize shallow builds and a missing save feature, though some praise the light roguelite loop.
