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 light, arcade-like action game where you extend a blocky sword to strike enemies and dodge their attacks.

What players say

Players praise the art and the mechanic where the sword grows during combat, but almost everyone notes the game is very short at under an hour. Bosses are polarizing: players split between enjoying the challenge and calling the final boss over-tuned. The use of AI music disappoints several reviewers, who ask the developers to remove it.
