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 frantic, unforgiving arcade shoot-’em-up where every run is a desperate fight for survival against Lovecraftian horrors.

What players say

Players describe a short arcade shooter where you must stop moving to shoot. The lack of a pause menu and random difficulty waves frustrate some, while others enjoy the gun sounds for quick, simple sessions.
