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 arcade shoot 'em up that feels like piloting a tiny starfighter through waves of pixel space pirates.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and retro arcade feel, but opinions are split on depth. Some find it a relaxing short burst of action, while others call it boring, too easy, and lacking story or challenge. A few note it can be finished in under 20 minutes.
