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 roguelite where you fly and fight as a dragon, upgrading your cards between waves to survive increasingly tough invaders.

What players say

Players call it a fun little dragon-themed rogue-lite where you smash waves of simple, increasingly spongy enemies. The developer updated often early on and added controller support, but some report a repeat-tutorial bug and abandoned-feeling status. Combat is auto-targeting with mix-and-match abilities, and the price is praised.
