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 ridiculous typing-based rail shooter that blends over-the-top gore with cheesy horror-comedy, demanding quick fingers and a sense of humor.

What players say

Players enjoy the campy horror humor and the novel typing mechanic, but many find the novelty wears off after about 10 minutes. There are reports of a game-breaking crash on a later mission and no ultrawide resolution support.
