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're constantly on the run from an unstoppable dark lord in a top-down, procedurally generated world where death means restarting from scratch.

What players say

Players praise the core concept: the final boss chases you from the start while you explore a procedurally generated map for upgrades. Some find it fun but note the game can drag on with grinding.
