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

Piloting a repurposed ship through relentless automated attacks, frantically repairing and upgrading while the abandoned station hums with alien menace.

What players say

Players describe a short, brutally difficult space shooter with a unique mechanic that lets you speed up or slow down scrolling. The game is praised for its art style, but many note it ends at a demo screen and lacks a proper boss or conclusion.
