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 and chaotic top-down arena shooter where you frantically charge shots, collect upgrades, and survive waves of enemies to reach the final boss.

What players say

Players compare this to Vampire Survivors with a stronger focus on active dodging and aiming. Reviews are split: some enjoy the 7-minute runs and manual charge shots, while others find enemies too tough from the start, making leveling feel slow and unsatisfying. Many criticize the UI for being hard to read, especially the charge and health indicators away from the character.
