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 weave spells and survive brutal enemy hordes in a dark, pixel-art hell, with each death making you stronger.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Vampire Survivors or Brotato, but note that removed. The difficulty curve feels off because enemies never reset between waves, leaving no time to breathe. The free price is praised, though the first-time user experience is criticized and random crashes are reported.
