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 fast, punishing twin-stick shooter with neon synthwave aesthetics and retro computing visuals.

What players say

Players praise its original mix of twin stick shooting and optional lite RPG, set in a computer science theme with dark humor. Some struggle with inaccurate guns, but the hard enemies and bosses require pattern learning. However, one reviewer reports crashes on every level.
