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 fast-paced retro action-adventure with 8-bit style and a hostile, radiation-riddled world where you must survive and hunt criminals.

What players say

Players compare this to SEEP's other games, especially Ninja 1987, and say it is a short, polished retro platformer. The recharging shotgun and grenades add variety, but the infinitely respawning enemies and short sword range frustrate some. Most find it challenging yet fair with infinite lives, and note the August 2025 update made it fully playable on Steam Deck.
