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 dark pixel-art abyss, frantically combining card-drawn abilities with platforming to fend off waves of hostile creatures.

What players say

Players praise the unusual mix of platforming and deckbuilding, where you use cards for most actions beyond jumping. Some find the movement janky and enemies hard to spot against the red background, while others say the loop becomes repetitive after a few hours.
