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, pixel-art on-rails shooter where you blast through a corridor of zombies with a light-gun feel.

What players say

Players say BioCrisis is a brief arcade light gun game that lasts between 6 and 30 minutes. It has one screen, one enemy sprite with recolors, and a 60-second timer. Most agree it is fun for the low asking price but too short and content-poor to justify more than a dollar.
