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 side-scrolling shooter that feels like an old-school arcade blaster shared with friends.

What players say

Players praise the mix of space combat and platforming with co-op, but many note the controls feel stiff and the game has serious bugs. A reviewer said it was abandoned after 2025, and others warn of high latency in multiplayer and poor Linux support.
