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 fast-paced, arcade-style shoot 'em up that feels like a frantic and addictive retro blaster with escalating difficulty and satisfying upgrades.

What players say

Players describe it as a solid Galaga-style shooter with satisfying upgrades, but the game has a sharp difficulty spike around level 40 and many report the later levels get easier instead of harder. Opinions split: some love the arcade loop, others call it repetitive and say it plays best with a mouse but fails on full-screen, controller support, and Steam Deck.
