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, over-the-top boomer shooter set inside a fractured psyche, blending pixelated violence with dark humor and breakneck combat.

What players say

Players praise the fluid combat, retro visual style and soundtrack, but are split on the humor - some find it dated or politically one-sided. The level design is occasionally criticized as empty, though the game picks up after a slow start.
