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-style shooter where you navigate a ghost-filled maze collecting rings while following spectral trails to avoid getting lost.

What players say

Players call this a compact retro FPS that takes minutes to finish, with only two similar enemies and nearly identical areas. Some enjoy the speed focus, while others warn it is a basic experience from a developer with a reputation for low-effort games.
