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 kinetic old-school shooter where you zip around with a jetpack, dodging projectiles and blasting tough enemies with classic weapons.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced Doom-like with stick figures, but many say development was abandoned after a year. Some enjoy the run-and-gun action, while others note the limited movement and weapon sway. Performance varies by hardware.
