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 action RPG where you explore randomized worlds, combine elements for spells, and face punishing monster hordes with pixel art flair.

What players say

Players praise the unique element-combo combat and pixel art, but nearly all complain the controls are clearly designed for mobile and don't adapt well to keyboard or controller. Many wish for key rebinding, fullscreen support, and a minimap. The PC release revives a mobile game that shut down, so nostalgia is strong but mixed with frustration over the controls and grindy progression.
