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

You frantically sprint through a cyberpunk spaceship, grabbing and pummeling enemies to leech their blood, all viewed through security camera angles.

What players say

Players call it a very short proof-of-concept beat-em-up with a killer soundtrack and unique pixel art. Some find the camera angles and puzzles confusing, and players wish it were longer.
