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 straightforward arcade FPS with randomly generated steampunk levels, quick shooting and dashing, and a focus on climbing floors to hunt a giant beetle.

What players say

Players are split on this free FPS: some enjoy the mindless fun and RPG-like levelling, while others find it too hard and repetitive after 20 minutes. The lack of enemy sound cues causes frequent jump scares, and reviews consistently ask the developer to add more floors and game modes.
