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 and violent climb through a monster-infested underground facility, with randomized loot and upgrades pushing you forward against escalating difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced shooting and rogue-like upgrades, often comparing it to Doom, but nearly all long-term reviews say development stopped in 2020 with no updates, making it effectively abandonware.
