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, cartoon arena brawler where you juggle crowd hype and the king's mood while grabbing random power-ups and donuts.

What players say

Players describe a simple arena combat roguelike that is both casual and addictive. The loop of dying, retrying, and unlocking items keeps them coming back, and many call it frustrating in a good way.
