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 fast-paced retro shooter where you blast color-coded enemies in a dark, psychedelic world while uncovering a personal story of confronting inner demons.

What players say

Players praise the combat and unique monochrome art style, but note the game is very short with only three campaign levels lasting about half an hour. The main draw is the endless arena mode, and players are split on the difficulty, some call it forgiving, others say even easy mode is punishing. A few highlight annoying movement quirks like slowing to a crawl when touching walls.
