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 punishing medieval action platformer where you grind through procedurally generated dungeons, upgrading gear and slaying monsters with deliberate pixelated precision.

What players say

Players agree this is a short, simple action-platformer that's fun in bursts, but the controls are widely criticized, especially on PC where keys cannot be rebound and movement feels sluggish. Some call it a buggy mobile port and recommend the sequel instead. Opinion on difficulty is mixed.
