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 relentless, flickering arcade shooter with constant screen flashes and fast-paced twin-stick action.

What players say

Players call it a punishing tribute to 80s flip-screen shooters like Cybernoid, with a separate Robotron-style survival mode. Reviews split sharply: some love the challenge and retro vibe, others find it too slow, boring, or unfair, especially the tiny bullets in monochrome graphics.
