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 retro-inspired shooter where you dodge bullets, shoot enemies, and teleport through trap-filled levels.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a decent quick arcade platformer with easy achievements, while others dismiss it as a low-effort asset flip from a known serial flipper. The shoot button is not shown in-game, and the game can be finished in under 30 minutes. Many reviews mention using left CTRL to fire.
