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 lightning-paced hack n' slash roguelike where movement abilities and stylish attack strings demand split-second creativity.

What players say

Players praise the combat as juicy and addictive, but warn the early access build is barren with only two bosses and few enemy types. The pixel art, soundtrack, and Portuguese voice acting are widely applauded. Some compare it favorably to Hades and Hyper Light Drifter.
