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 fast-paced blend of shooting and strategy where you repeatedly reanimate at your death spot to hunt an alien criminal.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and story, calling it a fun and well-made short game from a solo developer. A minority report a progression-halting bug late in the game.
