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

You pilot a customizable mech through fast-paced isometric battles, constantly adapting your build with random upgrades.

What players say

Players are split: some find the mech combat fun and see promise, but many criticize the three DLC-locked characters, clunky menus, poor performance, and lack of polish. The game is described as a Vampire Survivors-like with active shooting, though balance and optimization are rough.
