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, hand-drawn arcade shooter where managing risk and health is constantly tense.

What players say

Players praise the responsive controls, enjoyable risk-reward combat, and value for the low price, but agree the game lacks an enemy direction indicator. Some note it was left unfinished in early access.
