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 where you must type words to survive, demanding perfect focus and reflexes against colorful bullet hell chaos.

What players say

Players say TYPECAST blends typing with bullet hell action, but instead of typing words you tap individual keys to shoot while dodging with the mouse. It is brutally difficult even for fast typists, and opinion splits on whether the menus and controls are polished or janky.
