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 fast, chaotic roguelike where you blast and slash through procedurally generated mech battles with no safety nets.

What players say

Players say MechNest starts slow with tough enemies, then quickly turns into a power fantasy where enemies melt. Most agree it is a simplified, worse version of Risk of Rain 2 with no multiplayer, no mod support, and only four stages. Opinions split on whether the low price justifies the lack of content.
