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

You play as an agent in a chaotic, dystopian city, blasting through waves of criminals in a fast-paced, top-down twin-stick shooter with procedural runs and a punishing difficulty.

What players say

Players love the retro synthwave style and soundtrack but are sharply divided on the difficulty, which many call unfairly punishing with two-hit kills and no lives. The game has no save feature so each session starts from the beginning, though a casual mode with checkpoints exists.
