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 frantic twin-stick shooter set in a bleak, crumbling wasteland where you fight through hordes of creatures and machines with twin pistols and grit.

What players say

Players love the GBC-era pixel art and boss fights, but have split feelings on world exploration. Exploring runs into dead-end fights with no reward, and there are no permanent upgrades. Most finish in about three hours.
