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, arcade-style shooter with a retro 80s aesthetic and a lighthearted, over-the-top tone.

What players say

Players praise the Mega Man-inspired gameplay and upgrade system that lets them customize Rad's abilities with collected batteries. They love the chiptune soundtrack and 80s political satire, and note the game includes a boss rush and custom palette after beating it.
