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 arcade shooter where you psychically possess enemy ships to survive escalating waves of space combat.

What players say

Players praise the unique possession mechanic that forces constant ship swapping, but many find the difficulty punishing and the lack of checkpoints frustrating. Opinions are split on whether the chaos feels strategic or random.
