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 frantic, pixelated roguelike shooter where you dash and blast through demon hordes in tight church halls, each run demanding quick reflexes and smart upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the dash-reload mechanic and punch combos that punish greed, calling it a fast-paced blend of Vampire Survivors and Doom glory kills. It runs about 2–3 hours, with an infinite arcade mode for longevity, though one reviewer notes a balance issue where one weapon trivializes the game.
