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 nostalgic but modernized fast-paced arena shooter where you constantly juggle three weapons in chaotic space fights.

What players say

Players say the multiplayer is dead, with no one to play against and no bots to fight. The game is described as abandoned in early access since its single update in 2021, while the store page falsely claims singleplayer. Controls are called clunky, with a ship that slides instead of responding tightly.
