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 fast, psychedelic shoot-em-up with intense, abstract action and a visceral, retro feel.

What players say

Players praise the unique psychedelic visuals and frantic multidirectional shooting, but the game is best enjoyed after manually capping the frame rate to 60Hz because it runs too fast on high refresh monitors. Opinions split on the audio and visual clarity, some find the repetitive techno beats and voice lines annoying while others love the groovy soundtrack.
