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, cartoonish arena shooter with quick runs and bloody action.

What players say

Players praise its fast pace and crunchy action but split on difficulty, with some finding it unfair even on easy. Many compare it to Binding of Isaac. Controls feel janky, especially with keyboard, and the tutorial is too short. The game is short with a survival mode that gets punishing, and the first clear ends with credits instead of continuing.
