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

You are a new employee hastily clearing locations of aggressive pests in a frantic, arcade-style action game.

What players say

Players praise it as a fun free horde shooter with good gunplay and movement, but note a steep difficulty spike and rough edges. Many compare it to Call of Duty Ghosts' extinction mode. It is a student project, and reviewers urge the developer to add more content and variety.
