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 top-down action roguelike where you fight through hordes of demonic enemies in pixelated hell, collecting items and facing unique bosses in short 15-30 minute runs.

What players say

Players call it a shameless but competent Brotato clone with a party system instead of weapons. Runs are fast and the game is good for switching off, but reviews split on balance, some say builds lack depth while others enjoy the variety. A few players complain about tracking your character in the chaos and unfair homing bats.
