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, arcade-style shooter where you blast through hordes of rats in a procedurally generated maze with twin-stick controls.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple twin-stick shooter where mice shoot other mice in randomly generated lab mazes. It draws comparisons to Nuclear Throne lite and the classic arcade game Berzerk. Some call it fun and challenging, others find it redundant and criticize the locked resolution and pixel art.
