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 frenetic, neon-lit arcade shooter where you dodge deadly lasers and hack through procedurally generated enemies to a pounding synthwave soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the Tron-inspired visuals and synthwave soundtrack, but the camera is a major point of contention: many find it disorienting and struggle to judge distances, making it hard to dodge obstacles or collect power-ups. There is no mouse support, which some PC players lament.
