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 tactical top-down shooter that lets you choose between slow, methodical planning or fast, reflex-driven combat with destructible environments.

What players say

Players enjoy the well-balanced difficulty and level progression, with early levels teaching mechanics before ramping up. The game draws frequent comparisons to Hotline Miami for its smooth movement and satisfying gunplay, but some find it gets repetitive after about 17 levels.
