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 tense, action-packed roguelite platformer where you fight through a dark manor using light and gadgets against swarms of creatures.

What players say

Players praise the flashlight mechanic that reveals levels and damages enemies, calling the art and music lovely. But many find the controls stiff, the dodge dash unresponsive, and the roguelite progression samey. A few report game-breaking bugs that wipe progress, and several note the lack of mid-run saving makes long runs frustrating.
