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

An action-adventure RPG that feels quick and playful, with a lighthearted tone centered around a slime companion.

What players say

Players describe a cute pixel-art survivor-like where you upgrade both your character and a slime buddy. The co-op mode is unusual, with one player controlling the slime. Reviews are split on balance: some find the gold scaling off and weapons unbalanced, others praise the relaxed pacing and solid difficulty curve.
