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 and fast-paced old-school shooter with a retro pixel aesthetic and a darkly humorous, violent tone.

What players say

Players describe it as a competent Wolfenstein 3D-style shooter with cute pixel art and simple gun upgrades, but opinions split: some enjoy the straightforward blast, while others criticize repetitive corridors, minimal enemy types, and too much content locked behind secrets. The third act drops in balance and a glitch can soft-lock the final boss.
