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 frenetic run and gun game with a dark, Halloween-infused aesthetic and punishing difficulty that rewards repeated short runs.

What players say

Players praise the addictive gameplay loop, pixel art, and music, calling it a fun short run-and-gun with a retrowave Halloween vibe. Most finish in under an hour but return for harder difficulty, endless mode, and achievements. A few find the controls at low-to-high jumps frustrating, and one reviewer calls the story and tutorials mediocre.
