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 top-down shooter where slow-motion gunfights and wall-busting dashes create a chain of destruction.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this top-down shooter. Many praise the core time-slow mechanic and soundtrack, but nearly as many say the combo meter fades too fast, ammo is too scarce, and enemy spawns are too few and random, making the experience feel broken or repetitive. A common comparison is to Hotline Miami or Superhot, but only for keyboard and mouse.
