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 frenetic and punishing arcade runner where you must precisely stop a constantly moving cube to navigate saw-filled obstacles.

What players say

Players are split on Neon Hardcore. Some praise its pure, punishing challenge and simple design, while many others complain about glitchy controls, bad hitboxes, and a skip-level hotkey that seems to excuse the issues. Several call it an achievement-farming game with little else to offer.
