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, chaotic arcade shooter where you dodge alien swarms and upgrade on the fly to survive.

What players say

Players consistently describe Spelp as a competent but unoriginal survivor-like that fails to stand out. A recurring complaint is the lack of weapon sound effects, which makes combat feel impactless. Reviews also note it feels abandoned, with no updates in months.
