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 tense, lonely post-apocalyptic isometric rogue-lite where survival means battling relentless mechanical enemies in a bleak world.

What players say

Players compare it to a roguelite with a Hades-like structure, but opinions split on its pacing. Many praise the ability to steal enemy powers and the comic-book art style, while others find the map pool too small and the mid-game grind excessive. Long-time players report the same biomes wear thin after dozens of runs.
