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 top-down shooter with pixel gore, where you scramble to survive against enemies in procedurally generated dungeons.

What players say

Players call this a simple run-and-gun game ported from mobile. Some praise its fast, addictive gameplay and interesting story, while others see it as a lazy cash grab built from a game template. A common complaint is the inability to rebind keyboard keys.
