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

It feels like a tense, fast-paced twin-stick shooter set in a hostile far-off universe, where you loot bigger weapons and explore a vast starmap while fighting for survival.

What players say

Players call this a funny, well-voiced twin-stick shooter with varied ship upgrades and a forgiving gameplay loop that brings you back to the last checkpoint on death. Some find enemy homing bullets overwhelming and feel the weapon balance is poor, with most guns becoming useless next to shotguns.
