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

You drift through the void, relying on gravity slingshots to survive a lonely, punishing journey home.

What players say

Players love the speed and polished controls of this dodge-everything space game, but note it is short with little replay value outside leaderboard chasing. The narration by a robot sidekick gets frequent praise, while some find it repetitive. Performance on unusual monitor setups is broken.
