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.

What players say

Players describe a short arcade shooter where you play as a fish with a gun, praising its fluid movement and fast, intuitive gameplay. They compare it to Luftrausers and Ultrakill, note the high skill ceiling with tough challenge stars, and say the music is excellent. Some find the length too short but enjoy replayability through score chasing and weapon variety.
