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 fast-paced, cute, and colorful romp through randomly generated plumbing levels with roguelike runs and boss fights.

What players say

Players describe it as a cute and challenging roguelike where movement is part of the learning curve. Bosses get tough but are beatable once you learn their patterns, and buying upgrades makes runs easier.
