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, retro-style twin-stick shooter with fast-paced arcade action and a nostalgic feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the arcade-style action and variety of vehicles and weapons, but many say the game demands heavy grinding for upgrades and suffers from poor balance, making some weapons feel useless. The difficulty is high, partly due to constant enemy ambushes and a lack of dodge mechanics, and players note there is no multiplayer.
