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 bullet-hell roguelite where you respawn repeatedly, blasting through hordes of enemies with a shark gun in a pixelated neon city.

What players say

Players almost universally report game-breaking bugs such as invisible bullets from bosses and black screen errors that wipe save progress, making the game unplayable for many even after hours of trying. Those who can play praise its creativity and personality, but the tutorial is widely criticized for being overly long and condescending, and the hacking minigames feel tedious.
