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

Playing Bone Dust feels like a frantic, arcade-style bullet hell where you duel waves of grotesque enemies with a magician's deck of cards in a surreal, nightmarish circus arena.

What players say

Players compare it to Devil Daggers and describe it as an arena shooter with bullet hell patterns and a jump rope mechanic. Opinion is divided on the token system, which requires real money to submit scores to the leaderboard, some enjoy the free gameplay while others call the monetization predatory.
