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 survival action roguelite where you desperately fight off endless hordes in a dark fantasy world, each second counting until dawn brings relief.

What players say

Players call Lunar Tide a cheap Vampire Survivors-like that is fun in short bursts but rough around the edges. Many cite performance drops after 15 minutes, even on high-end hardware. Reviews are split on skill clarity: leveling effects and weapon fusion recipes are unexplained. Development is seen as modest, and players hope for continued updates.
