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 classic-style 2D action shooter with intense close combat and gunfights as you fight through a wasteland against monsters and bosses.

What players say

Players praise the rare post-apocalyptic Chinese setting, creature design, and atmosphere, but almost everyone criticizes the stiff controls, awkward rotation, poor English translation, and lack of mouse support. Combat feels unresponsive with high input delay, and survival elements add tension despite the rough mechanics.
