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 dungeon crawl where you constantly dodge projectiles and cast spells to survive against hordes, with permadeath keeping every run tense.

What players say

Players praise the combat and magic system, comparing it favorably to Wizard of Legend and Magicka, but many are frustrated by the lack of any save feature or meta progression. Runs are short, around 30 minutes, and the game starts hard with no tutorial. The community is split on whether the no-progression design is a dealbreaker or a welcome challenge.
