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 and punishing arcade-style platform shooter where survival depends on quick reflexes and learning each new random dungeon layout.

What players say

Players say the game gets repetitive quickly, with texture-swapped levels and unimpactful weapons. The controls feel clunky and the movement slippery, and bosses are a slog even with good gear. Many call it an unfinished roguelike that wears out its welcome fast.
