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 blistering, old-school shooter that pairs relentless robot swarms with fluid movement and time-bending abilities, pushing players into tense, fast, and unpredictable runs.

What players say

Players praise the fast movement, time-manipulation abilities, and punchy guns, with some calling it a hidden gem. But many criticize severe visual overuse of bloom and motion blur, spongy enemy scaling, and repetitive levels, especially in the later stages.
