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, card-driven action RPG where you explore randomly generated dungeons, collecting spells and relics to build powerful combos.

What players say

Players enjoy the deckbuilding and fast combat with DMC-like action, and find the cute characters and story rewarding. However, many note repetitive stages, a lack of balance between normal and magic attacks, and frustrating off-screen enemy attacks. The game is short, around 5-14 hours depending on difficulty.
