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 frantic and inventive office romp where you improvise with silly objects to fend off waves of robot coworkers.

What players say

Players praise the movement and creative weapon ideas, but the experience is short and repetitive. Most agree the game is unbalanced, with the cactus weapon dominating the final boss. Opinions split on the visual and audio polish, and many note cramped levels frustrate the fast-paced action.
