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 brisk cartoony dungeon romp with twin-stick shooting and light puzzles, moving from room to room at a steady pace.

What players say

Players praise the short run time of about 1–2 hours and the unique bullet-deflection mechanic. The top-down twin-stick controls feel stiff and clunky to some, and the game requires a controller, but the art style and ghost sound effects are charming. Players also note several collision bugs and an elaborate credits sequence.
