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

You mash buttons to brutally slaughter cartoonish goblins in a top-down dungeon with a crunchy rock soundtrack and score-chasing rhythm.

What players say

Players split on quality. Some enjoy the quick arcade-style action with difficulty rising fast, while others call it a low-effort asset flip with awkward movement and only a few enemy types. A short session game, around 15 minutes to an hour per run.
