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 blistering, surreal score attack FPS where every demon slain cranks the chaos higher, demanding split-second reflexes for spectacular combos.

What players say

Players report a sensory overload where thinking is too slow and they act on pure instinct. The controls are stripped to bare fundamentals with jump, dash, slide and slam on one key, and the 360-degree camera adds to the chaos. Many say they have no idea what is going on but enjoy it anyway.
