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, endless arcade run through procedurally generated post-apocalyptic rooms, where you dodge traps and enemies while collecting souls and power-ups.

What players say

Players agree the game is overpriced for what it offers, with a single repetitive stage reused across all three modes that barely differ from each other. The relaxing background music is a highlight, but random deaths and unclear mechanics frustrate.
