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

An ultrafast, chaotic beat 'em up with pixel art, chiptune music, and a darkly humorous tone as you tear through zombie hordes in a giant skyscraper.

What players say

Players say The Rare Nine is a fast-paced zombie platformer that feels unfinished and lacks clear direction, with no tutorial or stated objectives. The difficulty is brutal and deaths feel cheap, while development stalled early in its life, reviews note years without updates and question whether it will ever leave Early Access.
