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, high-stakes survival grind where you chew through endless waves of demonic foes in a grim, nostalgic pixel world, each run testing your build choices against escalating chaos.

What players say

Players praise the Diablo 1-inspired art style and the satisfying power fantasy, but many feel the content is too shallow for long-term play. The game has persistent crash problems tied to later characters and maps, and the grind for unlocking levels is divisive. Some find build variety lacking, while others appreciate the balance and coziness.
