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 relentless arcade shooter with retro pixel graphics and low-frequency guttural sound design that creates a tense, dark atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the body horror visuals and atmosphere but are split on the gameplay. Many call the difficulty unfair: enemies one-shot you, make no sound, and clip through walls. Some say it is a fun challenge like Devil Daggers, while others find it tedious and too dark.
