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.

A relentless, high-speed sprint through maze-like levels, blasting cybernetic enemies with explosive weapons while managing limited health.

What players say

Players praise its authentic 90s feel, vivid level design and punchy combat. Some find environments samey after a few zones and complain about enemies hidden in pitch-black rooms. A few dislike the movement feel. The campaign is surprisingly long, around 17 hours. Some reviewers note the main character's one-liners grow grating.
