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 chaotic, fast-paced arcade action game where you mow down cartoonish hordes with unique heroes, evoking 80s Saturday morning cartoon energy.

What players say

Players enjoy the 80s cartoon aesthetic, cell-shaded graphics, and music. But after launch the game quickly stopped receiving updates, which many call abandonment. Combat feels grindy and enemies are damage sponges, though some find the difficulty rewarding. Aiming is manual, which not everyone likes.
