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, challenging side-scroller where you blast through robotic defenses with unlimited ammo, balancing tricky combat with a quirky cyberpunk story.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and satisfying progression, but they split on the balance between metroidvania and roguelike modes. Some find the final level grindy and the zipline controls frustrating, while others enjoy the witty writing and flexible playstyles.
