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 frantic race against the clock where you sprint and shoot through waves of enemies, grabbing every second you can to keep the run alive.

What players say

Players call this a fast arcade shooter in the style of old Doom or Resident Evil Mercenaries, with S++ score chasing and co-op, and many name the $15 price as too high for the amount of content. Several say levels feel small and short, co-op unlocks no new stages, and cloud saves do not transfer.
