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 frantic and nonlinear retro first-person shooter that feels like sprinting through ancient ruins with explosive combat and light exploration.

What players say

Players compare it to a Metroidvania FPS, with backtracking via new abilities and frequent instadeaths. Opinions split: some love the retro challenge, others find the level design frustrating and dated.
