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.

A frantic test of survival where every shot costs your health, demanding careful aim and resource management.

What players say

Players enjoy the risky mechanic where shooting drains your health, and they appreciate the platform-creation twist. The graphics are undeniably basic, the game offers no tutorial, and it starts tough but clicks once you learn the systems.
