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 tense tactical game where every careful swap of heroes can tip the battle, demanding deliberate strategy in a dark hellish setting.

What players say

Players praise the unique combat system where swapping positions triggers turns, creating surprising depth. The game is challenging, especially on hard, with a notable difficulty spike in the last level. The hero upgrades and synergies offer variety, though some find the core mechanic grows repetitive. A common frustration is the lack of a mid-level restart option.
