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, punishing retro twin-stick shooter with a dystopian atmosphere and simple 1-bit visuals.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, tough twin-stick shooter with bullet-hell elements and one-shot deaths. Some compare it favorably to Hero Core, though one review calls it a poor imitation. Players disagree on difficulty: some find it manageable and finish in 90 minutes, others say it is punishing with unfair lasers and checkpoint spacing.
