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 arcade-style blaster where you push through waves of aliens level by level, focusing on escape rather than survival.

What players say

Players call it a short, free wave-shooter that feels more like a tech demo or solo project than a full game. Complaints about bad controls, resolution problems, and crashes when tabbing out are common, though some find the premise acceptable for the price.
