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 chaotic and irreverent arcade shooter where you grapple between planets while fending off absurd space squids to protect your oxygen supply.

What players say

Players describe this as a short arcade-style game with a hard reset on death. The grappling hook's cooldown is a common frustration, some find it too harsh. Opinions split between calling it a fun time killer and wishing for more depth or variety in upgrades.
