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 family-friendly arcade shooter with a playful 50s robot theme, offering easily adjustable difficulty and smooth VR support for a nostalgic, non-graphic action experience.

What players say

Players note this is essentially a reskinned version of Necro Mutex, with mixed feelings about paying full price for a re-skin. The game offers endless procedurally generated levels with no story or ending, which some find repetitive. VR support is praised for its smooth movement and positional audio, but the upgrade costs feel unbalanced.
