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, darkly comic bullet hell where you dash through procedurally generated arenas, mowing down rogue robots with twin-stick precision while the PyroCorp propaganda blares overhead.

What players say

Players describe a simple twin-stick roguelike with a neat light-beam visibility mechanic, but the procedurally generated tunnels all look the same and the game gets boring quickly, often within two hours. Opinions split between those who enjoy its casual pace and those who find it too basic and repetitive compared to other shooters.
