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 chaotic open-world adventure where you defend a black-and-white city from colorful aliens, blending platforming, driving, and slow-motion shootouts with a darkly comedic tone.

What players say

Players enjoy the noir aesthetic and jazz soundtrack, but the game is very short (around two hours) and has been abandoned by its developer, leaving bugs and broken achievements unaddressed. The aiming is tricky and there is no manual saving.
