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, visceral arcade survival game where you blast endless waves of vicious monsters in a cramped arena, competing for top scores.

What players say

Players call it a fun but shallow arena shooter where runs last only a few minutes. Many note the lack of music and achievements, and say it works best as a quick score-chaser on sale. It was removed from Steam in October 2019.
