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 enjoy the retro pixel look and music, but many complain about awkward keyboard controls, especially the fire button placement and lack of controller support. The game is very short, around 30 minutes, with minimal enemy variety and no incentive to fight. Some reviewers call it an asset flip from a known serial flipper.
