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, old-school arcade experience that starts easy but ramps up intensity and pressure as waves speed up and resources dwindle.

What players say

Players praise the faithful remake of classic arcade games like Asteroids and Breakout, with excellent music being the standout feature. However, many note the gameplay is repetitive and only two games are currently available, with more promised for 2024.
