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 arcade-like experience where you frantically compile game assets and shoot bugs under a strict 15-minute countdown.

What players say

A very short first-person shooter that has you replaying the same room three times, each run changing slightly. Players say it is built for speedrunning and leaderboard chasing, with a notable difficulty spike on the final level. There is clear disagreement over value, some call it a fun burst of content for the price, others find it too brief and repetitive for five dollars.
