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-paced, arcade-style shooter that builds from easy waves to punishing challenges, demanding quick weapon-switching and strategic play.

What players say

Players call it a fast-paced Space Invaders evolution with a focus on chaining kills and unlocking diverse weapons. Some find the difficulty infuriating, and a few call the weapons unbalanced or the game repetitive, while fans praise the local co-op and retro-modern feel.
