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 quick, arcade-style 1-on-1 shooter that feels like a playful, low-stakes duel where goofy wall-running and trick shots matter more than tactics.

What players say

Players call it a dead-on-arrival arena shooter with no one to play against. The parkour movement and a training obstacle course are the few bright spots, but poor hit registration, unresponsive running and sliding, and obvious asset-store graphics sink it. A handful find it fun to goof around with a buddy.
