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, gory twin-stick shooter where you fight sadistic alien clowns in tight spaces with pixel-art visuals and pressure to escape alive.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced action, satisfying gore, and killer soundtrack. The difficulty is a point of contention, with some finding it brutally unfair at higher settings. The ending is widely criticized as abrupt.
