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 top-down shooter where you dodge relentless bullet patterns while blasting through procedurally generated sci-fi corridors.

What players say

Players like the twin-stick shooting and robotic style but are split: some find it a fun, easy-to-pick-up roguelike, while others report game-breaking bugs, crashes, and a 60hz lock that makes it unplayable on modern monitors. The start is slow and luck with upgrades matters, though skill can compensate.
