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 brisk, cute roguelike with a light story about soul-spanning connections and reincarnating items.

What players say

Players praise the cute characters and the dual Japanese/Egyptian settings, but are split on the game itself. Many cite rough controls, no invincibility frames, enemies phasing through walls, and a slow stamina system that hurts pacing. Most agree it is a promising early-access project that feels unfinished.
