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, arcade-style shooter where each six-second burst of randomized action demands quick reflexes and instant decision-making.

What players say

Players call it a fast-paced Hotline Miami clone that's fun in short bursts, with randomized weapons and floor layouts keeping runs fresh. Performance issues on low-end hardware are noted, and some wish for leaderboards.
