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 top-down action game where you repeatedly die and retry, earning points to power up between attempts while pushing through enemy-filled levels to find your missing girlfriend.

What players say

Players describe a top-down shooter where you search a laboratory for your missing girlfriend, fighting zombies with melee and ranged weapons. The game has 40 levels, some procedurally generated, with only one life that forces a restart upon death. Some players found the controls confusing and the movement lacking.
