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.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the retro shooter feel with three weapons and pixel graphics, but many warn this Steam version is an unauthorized beta build stolen from the developer's free itch.io release. Complaints include no key rebinding, no quicksaves, overwhelming hit-scan enemies and mines, and weak sound design.
