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 frantic, arcade-style roguelike shooter where you defend a toxic yin-yang relationship from waves of enemies with permadeath and escalating difficulty.

What players say

Players enjoy the spooky pixel art and classic arcade feel of quick, 20-30 minute runs. Some find the upgrade system lacking synergies and the meta progression too bare-bones, while others appreciate the relaxing pacing and weapon variety.
