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.

A frantic, chaotic top-down shooter where you blast through colorful sci-fi environments with brutal gunfights and environmental mayhem.

What players say

Players praise the fast, twitchy combat and smart enemy AI, calling it a worthy pick for Hotline Miami fans. Opinions split on difficulty: some love the challenge, while others find bosses cheap with one-hit kills and frustrating invisibility.
