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 side-scrolling golf roguelike where each shot feels like a tactical puzzle in a whimsical, pixelated underworld.

What players say

Players describe it as a punishing roguelike that uses golf as a travel mechanic, not a simulation. They split on whether the heavy reliance on power-ups and cards hurts the experience, and note that mechanics are often unexplained.
