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

Sneaking into enemy camps with a variety of weapons, dying often but immediately revenging, feels tense and explosive.

What players say

Players call it a tough 2D action game where you die in one hit and must retry levels repeatedly. The John Wick style is clear, but stealth barely works and ammo is scarce. A later normal mode made it less punishing. Comparisons to Hotline Miami and Deadbolt are common.
