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 short, fast-paced action shooter where you dash and shoot through an AI facility as an anthropomorphic gunslinger.

What players say

Players call this a promising but unpolished student project, comparing it to Ratchet & Clank. The art and music get praise, but controls feel clunky, the robot companion talks too much, and performance lags on lower-end hardware. Most agree it is a short vertical slice that leaves them wanting more.
