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 simple, fast-paced arcade shooter where you kill monsters for high scores with cute pixel graphics and increasing difficulty.

What players say

Some players find it a decent time-waster on deep discount, but most say it is a bare-bones asset flip that lasts only a few minutes before the framerate collapses. Many note missing features shown in store imagery, no score, no wave counter, no sound. Player reviews disagree on whether it has any value at all.
