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.

What players say

Players compare it to Defender with a cat theme. The game runs well on Steam Deck and adds a new Dreadnought mode, but some find it frustratingly hard or tedious. There are reports of antivirus false positives that have been partially addressed. A few players miss key rebinding and say the remastered visuals are not an improvement.
