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 dungeon shooter where each procedurally generated run demands careful looting and upgrades to survive escalating monster attacks.

What players say

Players say Cryptrunner was a fun, fast-paced roguelite shooter, but the developer removed the game from Steam and disappeared. Many call it a direct copy of an Itch.io game called Blastion, and those who bought it regret it. Early positive reviews praised the gameplay, but sentiment turned sharply once the game was delisted.
