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 challenging top-down shooter with pixel graphics blending medieval and futuristic weapons and gadgets in an atmospheric, story-driven sci-fi viking setting.

What players say

Players compare this to Hotline Miami with a space Viking twist, praising the soundtrack and gadgets like shields and teleporters. It is short, around one to two hours on easy or nine on hard, and difficult even on low settings, with a 'one more try' loop. Opinions warn that a controller is not ideal, and enemies sometimes hear the player from across the level.
