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 frenetic, old-school side-scrolling shooter with a gritty synthwave aesthetic, where you blast through waves of soda-can gangsters in a punishing but satisfying arcade-style rampage.

What players say

Players call it a decent side-scrolling shooter with an old-school feel and fast action, but the difficulty is punishing, especially boss fights and random deaths, which leads to frustration. The game is short, around a few hours, and would benefit from more varied environments.
