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, retro action RPG where frantic weapon-swapping and dungeon crawling feel like an arcade shooter with roguelike twists.

What players say

Players compare it to a mix of Binding of Isaac and Vampire Survivors, with a unique system of placing weapons in eight directions. It is lightweight on Steam Deck and easy to drop into for short sessions, though some find it too simplistic and note that gold and experience vanish if not picked up quickly.
