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, fast-paced arcade beat-em-up where you punch through waves of skeletons and surreal enemies with colorful pixel art and a goofy sci-fi story.

What players say

Players describe it as a side-scrolling beat 'em up mixed with a bullet heaven, where a day-night cycle changes how items work. Most agree it starts slow but gets chaotic fast, and they praise the art and soundtrack. Some note it is short, with only three levels, and wish for co-op.
