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 fast-paced retro shoot 'em up with simple weapon mechanics, feeling like a classic 90s arcade shooter against alien infestations.

What players say

Players praise Tastrion as a solid 16-bit style horizontal shmup with a dark soundtrack and three selectable weapons. The difficulty ramps up later, with some calling stages 3 onward bullet-hell heavy, though most find it fair and addictive for short sessions. Boss fights and visual design draw frequent compliments.
