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 frantic dash to hunt an ancient god, blending investigative clue-finding with intense bullet-hell combat against a looming deadline.

What players say

Players find it a cheap, fun take on the Vampire Survivors formula where Cthulhu's location is random each run. They praise the art and strategic weapon variety, but note the content is very limited and some suffer from stuttering and map glitches.
