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 relentless, eye-bleeding blitz of retro shoot-em-up action coming at you from all directions.

What players say

Players compare it unfavorably to the free Echoes+, calling the 3D graphics rough and the soundtrack worse. Some praise the colorful explosions and twin-stick gameplay, but others report frame drops or random teleport bugs. There is disagreement on its value, with several recommending it only on sale.
