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 frenetic top-down shooter where you mow down waves of monsters as a lone knight, with escalating difficulty and a heroic, retro arcade feel.

What players say

Players describe it as a simplistic arcade shooter with very little content -- the campaign is over in about 15 minutes and there is no story. Many find the game boring, repetitive, and frustrating, with poor sound design and no save feature. A few players note the classical music is a highlight, but even they agree the game lacks depth and becomes a grind in survival mode.
