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 relaxed but frenetic arcade shooter where you mow down hordes of enemies with over-the-top weapons, focusing on satisfying carnage rather than challenge.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun but shallow run and gun with little reason to replay once the game crasher is unlocked. Some praise the fluid gameplay and aesthetic, but many find it monotonous after a short time.
