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

Blasting through waves of monsters with a retro weapon arsenal, then chilling in a tavern to upgrade gear feels like a fast, violent arcade loop with a social breather.

What players say

Players enjoy this free boomer shooter for its short but intense playthrough, praising the art, music, and weapon variety. They highlight the satisfying melee combat and the memorable final boss, though some find the game gets repetitive just before the end.
