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 frantic, surreal top-down roguelite where you fish up enemies in bullet-hell chaos, upgrade your boat, and uncover dark secrets with a grimly comedic, capitalist edge.

What players say

Players praise the unique hybrid of a top-down shooter and roguelike with a fishing theme, but many find the boat controls awkward and the difficulty unfair. The game has a loyal following for its humor and free updates, though some feel it is pricier than similar titles like Vampire Survivors.
