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, anime-style side-scrolling beat 'em up with hack-and-slash combat and grindy dungeon runs, blending cute visuals with competitive PvP.

What players say

Players praise the art, character progression, and nostalgic value but split on the current state: the game suffers from persistent server disconnections, and long-time players warn of a grindy endgame with paywall pressure, while others find it enjoyable for casual PVE.
