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 retro side-scrolling shooter with frantic bullet hell combat and a gritty post-apocalyptic steampunk aesthetic.

What players say

Players say the steampunk side-scroller is brutally hard, with a repetitive five-second guitar loop and checkpoints that force full restarts. A boss fight with a flying whale left some stuck. A quick, inexpensive time-killer if you can handle the difficulty.
