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 frenetic, high-octane retro shooter where you blast through demon hordes with tight movement and gory impact.

What players say

Lateralis Heavy Industries returns with a straightforward arena survival shooter that plays like a less complex Devil Daggers. Players praise the shotgun's weight and the ability to rocket jump with it, but consistently report a crash that ends runs after defeating the boss. The game is short, showing everything in about 20 minutes, and its optimization struggles on lower-end hardware.
