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

Brutal, frantic top-down shooter where you methodically smash through enemies with relentless gunplay and robotic strength.

What players say

Players compare it to Hotline Miami and find it a decent but less polished take, with a weaker story and less inspired level design. It is short but has a great soundtrack and more forgiving health than its inspiration.
