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

Exaggerated retro arcade shooter with a bombastic, synthwave-fueled 80s attitude and cheesy one-liners.

What players say

Players love the synthwave soundtrack and neon 80s art style, but opinions split on the gameplay: some find the dodge mechanics awkward and weapons too weak, while others enjoy the challenge and short play sessions. Co-op is a plus for some.
