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, old-school arena shooter where speed and reflex dominate chaotic skirmishes with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons and power-ups.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced old-school arena shooter in the vein of Quake, with solid gunplay and well-made bots. The player count is very low, making online matches rare, but the low system requirements and charming aesthetic are praised.
