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 brash, confrontational action game that feels like a loud, unapologetic jab at modern politics, paced like a frantic brawler with a chip on its shoulder.

What players say

Players split on this short, cheap retro shooter. Some find the constant swearing and repeated jokes grating, while others enjoy the dumb fun despite it. Many call the writing and voice acting AI-like, and the jumping physics feel oversensitive. Fans say it scratches a classic FPS itch, critics tell you to play Quake instead.
