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

You navigate a haunting pixel-art lab as an AI relic, piecing together a tragic inventor's story through tense top-down gunfights and mechanical twists.

What players say

Players describe RD Mars as a top-down shooter with bullet hell bosses and a deflecting mechanic, wrapped around a short, thought-provoking story about memory and loss. Some praise the challenging bosses and emotional depth, while a few cite technical roughness and a confusing start.
