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 tense, fast-paced twin-stick shooter where you methodically hunt and destroy targets in a futuristic, roguelike loop.

What players say

Players are split on Skipchaser. Some praise the art style and gun customization, but many report boring gunplay against enemies that only charge and shoot, a story that is confusing even after hours of play, and controller controls that are impossible to use. Long-time players say development stalled.
