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 minimalist typing gauntlet where you feel the pressure of waves closing in, demanding both quick fingers and cool-headed strategy.

What players say

Players praise it as a clever typing roguelite where building synergistic upgrades matters more than raw speed. Runs last 10-30 minutes. Some note early access content is thin and bosses feel limited, while a few report system-wide slowdowns.
