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 tense, fast-paced shooter where precise magazine management and movement-based recoil demand constant focus against relentless enemies.

What players say

Players praise the gunplay and combat feel, calling it one of the best top-down shooters with high replayability and a steep learning curve. They split on polish: some find it sleek, while others call aspects annoying, like missing item descriptions, and one reviewer prefers Nuclear Throne.
