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 lightning-quick retro shooter that blends colorful, stylized visuals with surreal humor and relentless score-chasing action.

What players say

Players praise the game's charming claymation art and level design, but find the combat repetitive due to few weapons. The rewind mechanic and final boss get positive mentions. Some say it is too short for its price, and others note it feels like a competent Doom mod rather than a full game.
