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 frantic, gory arcade shooter with dark humor, where you blast through destructible levels as a space marine.

What players say

Players call it a short, funny side-scrolling shooter that wears its love for 90s games like Doom and Duke Nukem on its sleeve. The humor lands well, and the developer stays active with community feedback. Some find the price a bit high for the length, but most say it's worth it for the style and replayability.
