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 frantic arcade-style roguelite where you dodge projectiles and collect loot to grow endlessly more powerful.

What players say

Players are split: many love the loot-driven power fantasy and call it a satisfying mix of Vampire Survivors and ARPG itemization, while some find the actual moment-to-moment gameplay boring since everything dies instantly or you get one-shot. The solo developer is praised for being fast and communicative.
