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 fast-paced retro first-person shooter with roguelike elements, generating random levels for each run as you fight through enemies to return a lost artifact.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and simple combat, but many complain development stalled and the game feels abandoned. Reviews are split on content depth: some find enough to enjoy, while others point to sparse weapon variety, repetitive enemies per level, and a confusing map without icons.
