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, punishing arcade shooter where you lead a squad into chaotic sci-fi battles with a retro pixel aesthetic and high-stakes permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the risk-reward system where damaging the ship costs money and can trigger self-destruct. Each of the six characters has a unique playstyle, and mastering them is key. Some wish for a crouch button, and a few note the game is short with repeating ship layouts.
