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 blisteringly cute and colorful first-person shooter where you frantically jump, dodge bullets, and aim on the move in short, punishing arcade levels.

What players say

Players say it is a cute-looking speedrun shooter that gets brutal, especially in the final world where the difficulty spikes sharply. Many warn against attempting 100% completion.
