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.

What players say

Players praise it as a polished twin-stick shooter with satisfying unlock progression and a retro visual style, often comparing it to Robotron 2084. A few players find the corridor map generation and time rewind mechanic awkward, and some split on whether it is too easy or too hard early on.
