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 brief, straightforward action game with a simple story from a developer's first project.

What players say

A short indie shooter that players finish in one evening. The graphics look better than expected for a solo project, but the shooting lacks hit feedback and has no crosshair. There is only one enemy type and one weapon. Some players encounter bugs, while others find it fine for the low price.
