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 platform shooter where every split-second decision matters, forcing quick reflexes and constant adaptation.

What players say

Players describe it as a 2D version of SUPERHOT where time slows when you stand still. It gets called hardcore and difficult, with random enemy weapons and paths preventing memorization. Some players wish for a level replay feature or multiplayer, and a few criticize the controls and details.
