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 fast-paced, challenging action game where you face off against mythological bosses in a side-scrolling arena.

What players say

Players are split on difficulty: some find it a fun challenge with well-designed bosses, while others call it artificially hard with unfair hitboxes, projectile spam, and excessive boss health. The game offers 20 unique boss fights and a good soundtrack, but progression requires grinding stars to unlock content.
