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 frantic top-down score chaser where you slash and explode melee weapons through swarms of enemies, pushing them to their limit in a tense, adrenaline-fueled loop.

What players say

Players call it an addictive, melee-focused twin-stick score chaser with no story or multiplayer. The combat feels satisfying, but the screen becomes unfairly crowded as time goes on, and the achievements are grindy. Some wish for more arenas or progression beyond the leaderboard.
