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, fast-paced arcade experience where you chain ghosts with a grapple beam and destroy waves in short, high-pressure sessions.

What players say

A short-burst score attack game where you chain enemies together instead of shooting them. Players praise the creative grapple mechanic but note the content is limited to three difficulty levels.
