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, lighthearted 8v8 top-down shooter with a retro 1950s sci-fi aesthetic, emphasizing team coordination and resource management.

What players say

Players consistently report that the multiplayer servers are down and the developer abandoned the game around 2020, leaving only bot matches that lack depth. What remains is a quirky arcade-style multiplayer shooter with a destroy-all-humans feel, but it is now a dead game with no official support and empty lobbies.
