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 glitchy mashup of classic arcade shooters and brawlers, played at a frantic, pixelated pace.

What players say

Players say it is a bullet-hell roguelike similar to Enter the Gungeon, with a short playtime of around 3 to 5 hours for the 3-run ending. Repeat runs feel samey, and some find the builds shallow, focusing on damage. Difficulty is light, but luck and eye strain from CRT effects are noted.
