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, ever-changing first-person shooter where learning enemy patterns and adapting to randomized arenas feels like a desperate survival puzzle.

What players say

Players call this a chaotic, fast-paced boss-rush roguelike with creepy floating JPEG monsters and a weapon unlock system. It runs about 2 to 3 hours and is praised for its bizarre visual style and fun, though some fights feel repetitive and there are minor bugs.
