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 tactical action-roguelite where you play a villain, summoning undead hordes and using terrain-based magic to crush castles with brute force or cunning.

What players say

Players praise the cheap price and fun, distinct characters but split on balance, some say the upgrade system is unfair while others find it rewarding after the challenge. Comparisons to Vampire Survivors are common, though opinions on which is better vary.
