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, procedurally generated platformer where you dash, throw knives, and freeze time to survive relentless bullet patterns.

What players say

Players praise the inventive blend of turn-based combat with a real-time combo timer that creates tension, comparing it to Scourgebringer and Dandara. However, many report run-ending bugs like invisible walls and broken level transitions, and the lack of saving during a run makes those losses especially painful.
