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 4v1 shooter where you either scramble for cash as a robber or stomp as an overpowered cop.

What players say

Players enjoy the low-poly shooter when playing with friends, but the multiplayer is dead and bots are repetitive. The game is fun for short sessions, though many call the $10 price too high for its early state.
