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 fast-paced cyberpunk platformer where you zip through neon levels, blasting enemies and slicing with a katana in physics-driven combat.

What players say

Players praise the music and level design, often comparing it to Hotline Miami and Katana Zero. They find it challenging but fair, though some note the momentum stopping when touching the ground and a lack of controller support or options menu at launch. It is a short debut, about 90 minutes.
