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 lighthearted but punishing arena fighter where you control a potato, relying on crafted weapons and careful planning to survive each procedurally generated fight.

What players say

Players praise the crafting system that lets you combine basic tools into stronger weapons, calling it unique and addictive. But they warn the early game is a slog: enemies are mindless, starting weapons feel identical, and earning coins to buy better gear is slow. A tutorial is sorely missed.
