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, procedurally generated dungeon run where you scramble for loot and upgrades while dodging relentless bullet hell attacks and permadeath waits at every mistake.

What players say

Players are split on this roguelite dungeon crawler. Some find it addictive and a great time sink, while others feel it was abandoned with little content and suffers from bugs and crashing on newer Windows systems. The combat is simple but bosses are considered unfair due to screen shake and bullet sponge enemies.
