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're constantly dodging and firing in a tight arena, frantically building up your character's power to hold back the relentless monster waves until the timer runs out.

What players say

Players enjoy the core loop and character variety but are divided on replayability. The developer abandoned the PC version almost two years ago, leaving promised updates unreleased and the game feeling incomplete compared to the mobile version.
