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 third-person shooter with arcade-style tank combat, varied challenges, and a competitive rank mode that feels driven by skill and repetition.

What players say

Players describe this as a twin-stick bullet hell with tank controls that is insanely hard and addictive, but some call the difficulty spike in the first level and buggy controls frustrating.
