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, hyper-violent game show where you dodge bullets and blast mutants at breakneck speed.

What players say

Players praise the game show aesthetic and Smash TV energy, but many bounce off due to chaotic visuals that make enemies and hazards hard to read, bullet-sponge enemies, and repetitive room layouts. Difficulty is very high, though accessibility aids help, and players split on whether the spectacle overcomes the weak gunplay.
