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 chain together a blur of wall jumps, grapples, and teleports in a vibrant, chaotic race against time, each run a frantic flow state of speed and destruction.

What players say

Players love the blistering speed and movement, comparing it to Dead Cells and Sonic, with a unique emberdrift slide that takes practice but rewards flow. Runs feel less random than typical roguelikes, though builds can snowball too quickly and controller aiming frustrates some.
