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 top-down shooter where you survive waves of nightmarish creatures in a dark, surreal dreamscape.

What players say

Players compare it to Brotato with added weapon synergies and active character skills, saying it is fun and worth the low price. Many note the game is rough around the edges and lacks a tutorial, with some frustration over difficulty penalties that reduce max health.
