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

It feels like a high-speed arcade shooter fused with puzzle-solving, where you blast blocks with a six-shooter to clear lines in a minimalist Western setting.

What players say

Players describe it as Tetris with shooting, but find the controls slippery and imprecise. The difficulty spikes quickly and there are no difficulty options. Aiming feels too fast even at the lowest sensitivity setting.
