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

You mow down endless waves of enemies in a frantic, minimalist bullet hell where every run feels like a race against an inevitable, overwhelming tide.

What players say

Players praise the simple, addictive loop of moving while weapons auto-fire and numbers climb, calling it a great value with a ton of content. However, some find the progression too slow and runs repetitive, and many note late-game visual clutter makes it hard to see.
