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 and relentless shoot-em-up where you upgrade aggressively between waves of crowded enemies and giant bosses.

What players say

Players describe Netherspace as a retro bullet hell with a Galaga or R-Type feel, featuring 100 waves and 20 bosses. The shield and teleport mechanics are vital for survival, and the upgrade system adds RPG-like depth. Some find the graphics too dated, even for a retro title, and there is disagreement on visual quality.
