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, gory 16-bit arcade action game with a horror theme and pixel graphics.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and the authentic horror movie references, especially for Evil Dead and Halloween. The gameplay is a solid but difficult retro-style platformer with high replayability across characters. However, many warn it is overpriced for its length, and some report stuttering and audio crackling.
