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

You take aim with a small party of bowmen, upgrading them between lighthearted PvP duels and quick arcadey skirmishes.

What players say

Players say it is a fun free game that feels like an old flash title, but RNG-heavy damage and crashes kill momentum late in runs. The aiming is imprecise, multiplayer does not work, and some upgrades appear broken. Still, it is addictive for short sessions.
