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 top-down shooter that blends retro action with dark jungle survival and a touch of goofy inventory management.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and music, but warn the game is short with about 5 hours of content. The inventory combo system adds depth, though early runs feel grindy. Side areas are much harder than the main path.
