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 frenetic 2D shooter where you hop between dangerous, distinct biomes, choosing your path and blasting monsters with dual-mode weapons and spells.

What players say

Players praise the open world map and nonlinear level progression, allowing them to skip tough stages and return later. But a recurring crash, especially on opening the inventory or completing a level, spoils the experience for many, and even fans call the presentation and controls reminiscent of an early 2000s flash game.
