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 chaotic top-down shooter where you play as a gun-wielding dog defending a boy from zombies and mutant animals, with base-building and bullet-hell combat.

What players say

Players praise the boss fights and bike stages, calling them legendary and magical. The game is hard but fair, with a weapon and camp upgrade system that rewards knowledge of which gun to use. A few note it can drag a bit between action and that ammo costs money after death.
