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 frantic and physically demanding arcade challenge where you duck, dodge, and shoot your way through waves of targets.

Reviews split on the ammo-reload mechanic, with some finding it frustrating, while others praise the workout-like intensity and variety of modes like timed, survival, and endless.
