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, satirical run-and-gun game with cartoony pixel graphics and darkly humorous political themes.

What players say

Players find it a fun but very short run-and-gun in the style of Metal Slug, lasting 20–30 minutes. Reviews split on whether it is worth the price, with many calling it overpriced for a meme game. Mechanics get mixed feedback: some enjoy the humor, others say deaths feel cheap and movement is sluggish.
