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, pixel-art arena shooter where you dash through demon hordes against a ticking clock, demanding sharp reflexes and pattern mastery to climb leaderboards.

What players say

Players describe The Void Project as a fast-paced arena shooter in the style of Devil Daggers and Hyper Demon, with short sessions focused on leaderboard climbing. However, multiple reviewers report game-breaking bugs like enemies not being removed after death and achievements not working, with some calling the game unfinished due to only 5 waves and about 6 enemy types.
