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

You run and gun through waves of cheesy moon enemies, frantically dodging bullets and collecting upgrades in a colorful, retro-styled arcade frenzy.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, simple survivors-like that can be completed in a few hours. The tiny arena cuts down on movement, and there are only three enemy types. Many note runs feel samey because once the skill tree is maxed only one branch can be used per run. Some enjoy it as a quick chill break, others say it feels like a demo and grows boring fast.
