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 and punishing arcade shooter that demands tight reflexes and rhythm as you carve through a dense, dark cyberpunk swarm at breakneck speed.

What players say

Players describe a fast, punishing arcade shooter where survival is measured in seconds. The gameplay is simple and addictive, but some find the screen too cluttered and enemies too fast with no indicators. It lacks graphics or sound settings.
