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 and brutal pixel-art shoot 'em up where you blast through waves of enemies and bosses, trying to survive and rack up a high score.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging roguelike twin-stick shooter in the style of Hotline Miami, with addictive but punishing difficulty. Reviews note the need for quality-of-life improvements like auto-reload, though the developer is actively making tweaks.
