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
Fast-paced combat with constant swapping between ranged and melee attacks while exploring perilous tower realms.

What players say
Players finish it under an hour and call it a bite-sized metroidvania with light exploration and a single upgrade path, praising the reasonable price. Critics note the minimal story and weird writing, while some wish bosses let them heal more often.
