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, chaotic arcade game where you play a dragon frantically gathering treasure while fending off enemies and competing with other dragons.

What players say

Players love the nostalgic arcade dragon formula of burning villages and ransoming princesses, but the PC port is widely panned for unplayable screen tearing due to the missing vsync option and the developers dropping support years ago.
