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 retro-inspired action platformer with tough, fast-paced combat and a spooky, blood-soaked atmosphere.

What players say

Players say this is a brutally difficult retro action-platformer that demands memorization and patience. Its three character classes and gory pixel art stand out, but the stiff controls and relentless difficulty split opinion, with some praising the challenge and others finding it frustrating.
