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, chaotic loot-and-shoot space romp where you constantly tinker with weapon combos and upgrades to mow down ever-tougher enemies.

What players say

Players describe it as a rough indie mix of Space Harrier and Zigfrak. They split on the controls: some find them clunky, especially on controller, while others enjoy the gameplay. A harsh penalty for losing, where you lose all loot with no pity credits, creates a punishing spiral.
