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 fast-paced, minimalist survival game where you fight endless enemies with roguelite progression, balancing risk and reward through permanent upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the minimalist arcade feel and short session structure, but many criticize the upgrade system for lacking damage options, leaving runs to random luck. The game crashes near the end when too many items drop, and development has stopped. Some note a hard-to-read font and oddly wet menu sounds.
