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

You run frantically through neon-drenched synthwave worlds, dodging obstacles as an ever-present black hole swallows everything behind you and shifting gravity makes every jump a desperate gamble.

What players say

Players praise the 80's synthwave style and say the game is tough but keeps them coming back. The gravity-shifting mechanic and tape collecting add depth, though many admit it can be rage-inducing.
