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 retro-style action platformer where you explore a spaceship, gain upgrades, and defeat bosses with a gradual sense of progression.

What players say

Players call it a basic Metroidvania or Mega Man rip-off with forgettable environments and weak exploration. Many complain about bad keyboard controls and loud audio. There is an achievement bug for collecting exactly 999 ZIL. Some players only use the game for Steam card farming.
