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, chaotic, and parodic action roguelike where heavy metal music accompanies frantic bullet-hell combat against absurd Christmas-themed enemies.

What players say

Players compare it to Zombies Ate My Neighbors but with less variety and fewer levels. The repetitive environments and limited weapons disappoint some, while others enjoy the metal holiday theme and find it fun for quick sessions. Some report crashes and glitches, especially near the final boss.
