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

You descend into a mysterious temple, blasting through eldritch monsters with corrupted weapons while slowly unlocking upgrades and uncovering a foreboding secret history.

What players say

Players report a promising but deeply unfinished roguelite with gamebreaking bugs, floaty parkour, broken weapons, and typos. A few enjoy the short run, but most say it is not worth it even at a low price.
