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

You feel like a stylish 80s slasher, gleefully and creatively dispatching increasingly tough victims across wildly different levels.

What players say

Players praise the dark humor and brutal pixel art kills, calling it a short and fun slasher tribute. The game is free but lacks key rebinding, and opinions split on whether the bar level or the ending are too hard.
