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

You rack up combo points to power up your weapon while blasting through hordes of enemies in a bright, pixelated arcade shoot-em-up.

What players say

Players are split on the color-coded weapon switching, some calling it original and others finding it tedious and overcomplicated. The game focuses on getting high scores rather than building permanent power, and weapons can break on death.
