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 hectic arcade shooter that feels like a love letter to 80s action movies, with non-stop on-rails shooting and a comedic tone.

What players say

Players call it a straightforward on-rails arcade shooter that originated on mobile. The cover system and mouse aiming get specific praise, though the mobile origins show in simple enemy designs. Players split on whether it runs well, with some reporting crashes.
