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 crunchy, high-score arcade game that feels deceptively simple but demands precise muscle memory and quick reflexes in short bursts.

What players say

Players call it a fun short mix of Arkanoid and shoot 'em up, with weapon upgrades and a daily run. Most finish in under an hour. Some note controller support problems, and a few say the developer dropped it.
