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 side-scrolling roguelite with many item combinations that keeps each run unpredictable, while its retro visuals and perma-death create tense, fast-paced action.

What players say

Players describe a roguelite shooter with slow pacing and a mobile port feel. The game's main draw is stacking a huge variety of items, including anime and game parodies, but clearing room after room with no reward other than progression feels tedious. Difficulty is low if you collect enough items.
