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.

A relaxed, retro twin-stick shooter with light crafting and a mysterious sci-fi backdrop.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic top-down shooter gameplay with deep RPG-style upgrades and a synthwave soundtrack, but warn that critical bugs remain unfixed and the developer has gone silent, effectively abandoning the early access build.
