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 stylish, fast-paced 2D action game with pixel art and an evocative soundtrack, set in a dystopian cyberpunk city.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous pixel art and the unique mechanic of shooting into the background, which sets it apart from other run-and-guns. It is short, often beaten in 2–5 hours, and quite challenging, though opinions split on whether the difficulty feels rewarding or frustrating. Some note the music is hit-or-miss, and most recommend buying on sale.
