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 heavy metal-infused action roguelite where you feel empowered to forge your own path through death, customizing your arsenal to face grim challenges with a dark, edgy swagger.

What players say

Players describe a short, Hades-inspired roguelite with a QTE crafting system that splits opinion, some find it fresh and rewarding, others call it fiddly. Run-to-run skill variety is thin after about ten cycles, while early weapon choices feel limited. The metal soundtrack and animal character designs get consistent praise, and it runs well on Steam Deck.
