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 breakneck, pixelated throwback shooter that throws you into abstract, gore-soaked labyrinths with frantic dodging and non-stop shooting against Lovecraftian horrors, all set to a pounding soundtrack.

What players say

Players are sharply divided between those who enjoyed the early access and those disappointed by the final release, which many say swapped out good maps for generic ones. Reviewers consistently note weak enemy AI, no jumping, and a disappointing final boss, but some still find fun in the fast pacing and retro aesthetic.
