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 chaotic, fast-paced bullet hell where cute pixel art and funny moments clash with punishing difficulty and frantic dodge-rolling.

What players say

Players call it one of the best roguelikes, praising the huge variety of guns and synergies. The difficulty is high but generally fair, with success depending more on reflexes than luck. Some criticize that the listed co-op only works locally or via remote play, and a few find the early game too punishing without clear item descriptions.
