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 chaotic, fast-paced top-down shooter where you blast through monsters with magic and improvised weapons, fueled by raw anger and a retro neon style.

What players say

Players praise the music and unique mechanics like the reload system, but many say the game feels unfinished and abandoned by developers, with no updates or news for years. The fog of war mechanic frustrates some, and the aiming feels clunky.
