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, pixel-graphic twin-stick shooter where you mow down endless waves of demons with powerful guns between each run.

What players say

Players compare Hellmut to Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne, calling it faster-paced with a unique mutation system that gives extra lives and abilities. Opinions split: some find the gameplay flat and boring with grindy unlocks, while others praise the art and addictive loop.
