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 linear retro third-person shooter with dark humor and puzzle-filled arenas that feels like a tense, cinematic action movie with a silly edge.

What players say

Players call this a short, funny shooter with strong personality. They praise the writing and humor but criticize the tedious inventory system and weapon balance. A popular glitch lets you load unlimited ammo into the revolver.
