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 frantic, wave-based shooter where you constantly balance risk and reward while blasting enemies to a pulsating electronic soundtrack.

What players say

Players are split on Horizon Shift: some enjoy its fast-paced arcade action and variety of modes, while others find it frustrating due to slippery controls, unfair hitboxes, and performance problems. The mix of bullet hell, platforming, and a brick-breaker minigame is a unique but divisive approach.
