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

Breaking fragile objects for points in a frantic, hand-crafted gauntlet where every crash is satisfying and you must keep moving to escape a relentless pursuer.

What players say

Players describe Infernal Racket as a fun, arcadey time-waster where you smash glassware across randomly arranged levels. Many note it works well in short bursts, but opinions split on execution: some love the satisfying destruction and addictive loops, while others find the bullet-hell chaos overwhelming, the lack of a dash frustrating, and enemy projectiles hard to track without audio cues.
