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

Feels like a nostalgic trip to 8-bit and 16-bit console shooters with fast, straightforward action and VHS-era visual flair.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting by popular Ukrainian bloggers, but many find the game janky with no saves, no checkpoints, no hit feedback, dumb AI, and no manual reload. Opinions split on whether it's a fun retro shooter or too unpolished even for free.
