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 chaotic and frantic arcade survival shooter where you constantly upgrade and power up against waves of monsters until midnight strikes.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and find the game addictive in co-op, but many say unlocking levels and permanent upgrades is slow and grindy. There is no manual fire option, which disappoints some, and the gameplay can feel passive as the goal is often just to survive 20 minutes.
