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 tense, fast-paced dungeon crawl blending retro FPS combat with roguelike severity, where every run feels precarious and skill-driven.

What players say

Players praise its atmosphere and sound design, but some find it shallow and note unfixed mouse issues. The game is challenging, and its simple pixel-art style is a highlight.
