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 zany, fast-paced arena shooter where every shot can kill, rewarding skill and movement with a playful, competitive feel.

What players say

Players love the pure, fast Quake-like arena combat distilled to rocket jumps and instagib railgun shots. Multiplayer is dead so you need to fill a server with friends, and players split on whether top opponents are skilled or cheating. The soundtrack is widely praised.
