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 frenetic, old-school arcade shooter where you dodge bullet patterns and blast waves of enemies across short, intense rounds.

What players say

A simple free-to-play Space Invaders-inspired game. Players say it's short and easy to fully complete, though some find it mediocre or too bare-bones. Opinions split on whether its minimalist style is charming or lacking variety.
