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 relentless, arcade-style shooter where you mow down waves of grotesque demons with over-the-top weapons in a chaotic power fantasy.

What players say

Players are split: some say it is a lazy cash grab with recycled maps and bad spawns, others find it stupid fun and overhated. Most agree it feels unfinished.
