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 frantic asymmetric shooter where human soldiers and monster creatures clash in chaotic point-capture battles that demand quick teamwork and constant adaptation.

What players say

Players enjoy the asymmetric PvP where one team uses light gadgets and the other stalks in shadow, calling it a clever party game reminiscent of Killing Floor. The single developer is praised for being responsive, though the Early Access build has UI bugs and a rough learning curve.
