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 hectic, pixelated bullet-hell run-and-gun where you constantly dodge and blast through procedurally generated cyberpunk levels.

What players say

Players celebrate the political defiance and find the game genuinely fun with good music and pixel art, though most agree gameplay is average or unbalanced with difficulty tied to weapon RNG and repetitive room layouts, a minority says the positive reviews inflate because of the politics, not the game itself.
