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, high-speed arcade shooter where you mow down demonic hordes in dark, gothic arenas while fighting for survival.

What players say

Players compare it to Devil Daggers, but with a medieval setting and a single crossbow. The game is extremely demanding from the start with one-hit deaths, and only offers two arenas against five enemy types.
