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, retro-style shooter with grid-based movement and a surreal, horror-tinged atmosphere, meant to be played in short bursts.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying grid-based shooting with a light-gun feel and unique art style. However, they split on the level design: early levels are clever puzzles, but later labyrinths with darkness and timers frustrate many, and some find the game repetitive despite its short length.
