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 high-energy, nostalgic first-person shooter that blends old-school run-and-gun action with modern tactical precision for a relentless rescue mission.

What players say

Players describe a very short, one-level FPS built from asset packs. The gunplay and movement feel good to some, but others find the level design and enemy variety lacking. Many reviews come from friends of the solo developer and praise the potential, though the game itself is seen as a proof of concept.
