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 tense, punishing roguelike where every attack can kill or miss, pushing you through a dark compound with only your mentor's voice for guidance.

What players say

Players describe a difficult top-down roguelike in the style of Hotline Miami, with a slow character due to a concussion mechanic. Reviews praise the weapon and perk variety but note enemies require pattern memorization, and some abilities lack clear descriptions.
