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 roguelite platformer where combat takes priority over jumping, each death feeds permanent upgrades, and handcrafted levels keep every run feeling distinct.

What players say

Players compare it to Risk of Rain 1 with permanent upgrades between runs. It is unforgiving: players feel powerful until a sudden death humbles them. The hand-crafted levels and evolving biomes are praised, but some note the early level layouts feel similar after a few runs. Spells and perks make each run unique.
