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, arcadey shooter with a darkly humorous and silly take on a historical conflict, mixing fast-paced action with gory, colorful combat.

What players say

Players find the concept hilarious and enjoy the Australian humor, but performance is poor and the game feels abandoned with no updates for over a year. The controls are janky, the third person camera is problematic, and optimization requires a powerful PC even at low settings.
