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 fast and frantic cave-diving shooter where precise movement and quick reflexes are constantly tested against deadly hazards.

What players say

Players describe it as a modern take on Gravitar and Lunar Lander with guns, where gravity physics make controls tricky and enemies are varied. The difficulty spikes heavily in the escape phase, and random falling blocks that instantly kill you are a common frustration.
