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 chaotic party shooter where you frantically peek at friends' screens to find invisible opponents, balancing absurd weaponry with competitive tension.

What players say

Players love the clever premise of hunting invisible opponents by peeking at each other's screens, but many say it gets stale fast after a few sessions. The online is dead by 2026, though AI bots were added. It works best as a chaotic couch party game for kids or short bursts with friends.
