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, arcade-style shooter where players mow down waves of undead in chaotic, fast-paced combat across varied arenas.

What players say

Players praise this free indie adventure for its short runtime, often under an hour, and killer soundtrack. The game is compared to Doom or Quake, though many deaths come from falling off the map rather than enemies.
