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 quick, room-by-room action platformer where you fight through dungeon levels in short runs, unlocking permanent upgrades between attempts.

What players say

Players praise the light management mechanic that makes visibility a real concern, and the co-op is a highlight with frantic shared runs. However, some say that after about 4 to 5 hours the roguelite becomes repetitive, and controller users report a frustrating bug where the game randomly switches to mouse input.
