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 chaotic, fast-paced first-person shooter where you blast through endless hordes of monsters with wacky weapons, focused on racking up gold and high scores.

What players say

Players love how quickly the game throws them into the action, and many call it a great pick for quick runs or leaderboard climbing. The cartoon art, music, and weapon creativity get consistent praise, but several players find the loop repetitive and wish for boss fights and meaningful progression.
