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 straightforward retro arcade game where you dodge viruses while collecting vials to craft a cure, using simple keyboard controls and teleport portals.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple arcade game where you collect items and avoid enemies, comparing it to a passive Pac-Man. A minority criticizes it for being a template flip from the Blender Game Engine, but others find the retro cabinet aesthetic and controller support charming.
