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 and methodical sci-fi action roguelike where each run through procedurally generated subterranean levels demands careful exploration and combat to slowly improve your gear and skills.

What players say

Players praise the fun fast-paced combat and class variety but are split on the lack of a map, which causes frustration and confusion. Many note the enemy and level variety is low, with runs feeling too long for the amount of content, and bosses rely on homing attacks that require prior knowledge to avoid.
