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.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple, silly fun and quirky characters like Thug Blob. One also compares it to a budget GTA with a tense story and horde mode, while another calls it a retro arcade game like Space Invaders meets Back to the Future. The ending is a cliffhanger, leaving some craving a sequel.
