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 frantic, retro-styled battle royale where you chain kills and unleash special attacks in chaotic, top-down shootouts.

What players say

Players love the core gameplay and soundtrack, but consistently warn the PvP is dead due to a tiny player base, leaving only incompetent bots to play against. The developer plans a free-to-play mobile release to revive it.
