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

It feels like a frantic, minimalist arena shooter where you constantly fight to survive against escalating demonic threats.

What players say

Players describe Goinund as a simple but challenging arena shooter with a single map and one achievement. It is often compared to Devil Daggers, though opinions split on whether it is a worthy alternative or a lesser knockoff. The goal is to survive and kill enemies to "become the devil" at about 250 kills, with random enemy spawns and limited ability explanations making it trial and error.
