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 meditative, endlessly deep shooter that challenges you to think about the levels within levels.

What players say
Players praise the fractal dive-into-enemies mechanic but say there is no goal or end, and many find it pointless. Some call it a relaxing 15-minute session game, while others highlight unfair bullet patterns. Opinions split between those who appreciate it as art and those who see it as a raw unfinished concept.
