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 fast-paced, retro-inspired first-person shooter with surreal dreamscape levels and a score-driven arcade feel.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced run-and-gun gameplay, driven by a deadly wall that forces constant forward movement. The weapon-swapping reload system and short levels encourage high-score chasing, though some report softlock bugs and jank from Game Maker.
