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, retro arcade shooter where you dodge attacks and blast aliens in short, intense bursts.

What players say

Players call it a Space Invaders-style arcade shooter with roguelike upgrades and a cute pixel-animal aesthetic. It has a slow, grindy start that can put people off, but many say it grows addictive once upgrades accumulate. Reviews praise the music and boss variety, while a minority finds it too retro and lacking novelty.
