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, tongue-in-cheek isometric shooter with over-the-top sci-fi B-movie flair and constant humorous commentary.

What players say

Players praise the game's campy B-movie aesthetic and constant director's commentary as its standout feature. Many note the vertical climbing is novel but the gameplay is simple, and the overall experience is short but fun.
