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 relentless run-and-gun shooter with heavy metal chaos and explosive retro arcade action.

What players say

Players praise the heavy mech feel and smooth gameplay once controls are customized, but split on the checkpoint system, which can soft lock you at low health. The campaign is short, beatable in around an hour on normal, with most recommending higher difficulties for a real challenge. Many note no fullscreen support and recommend a controller.
