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 neon-drenched sprint through a city where you dodge enemies, collect pixels, and blast foes with floppy disks, all set to an 80s-inspired aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the 80s nostalgia, vibrant neon visuals, and synthwave music, but note the soundtrack is brief. The gameplay is a standard endless runner with platforming and shooter elements, though some find later objectives grindy. Opinions split on polish: some report glitchy enemies and control issues, while others call it a solid time-killer.
