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 frantic, top-down survival shooter where you blast through cartoonish hordes of monsters across a compact open world.

What players say

Players describe a very short, simple shooter that takes around 30-40 minutes to complete. The shotgun recoil is consistently praised as satisfying, and many compare the game's feel to the SNES Jurassic Park, while noting it is far less frustrating.
