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

Playing this game feels like a chaotic, fast-paced arcade brawl where you smash through waves of enemies and destroy everything around you in colorful, retro pixel graphics.

What players say

Players love the fully destructible environments and ragdoll physics, which let them use anything as a weapon. They are split on the difficulty: some praise the depth of combat while others cite the one-life design, too many enemies, and janky controls as frustrating. Long-time players note updates through 2024 added content, but many still call the game unfinished.
