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 dash through colorful hand-drawn dungeons, hurling boomerangs in fast loops while dodging enemies in a rhythmic arcade-like struggle for survival.

What players say

Players enjoy a short, tough roguelike where mastering boomerang movement and enemy patterns in tight rooms is key. Boss fights build on basic enemies with twists. Reviews mention the cute art and low price, but warn the game is difficult and requires restarts.
