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 tense, minimalist arcade survival horror where you manage limited resources and protect a skittish cat while escaping alien-infested floors.

What players say

Players describe this as a simple multi-directional shooter with survival horror vibes, an homage to Alien. They praise the atmosphere and cat-saving objective, but some find the maps repetitive with very few tile variations, and one reviewer noted an odd collision glitch that lost the cat.
