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 tough, arcade-style shoot-'em-up with retro 90s flair and a comedic tone, focused on blasting alien hordes through increasingly difficult levels.

What players say

Players praise the retro-inspired top-down platformer for its fun weapons, dynamic levels, and challenging boss fights. Some note that keyboard and mouse is better than controller because aiming is difficult, and one reviewer found the 'use' key binding awkward when moving.
