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

Shooting and slashing in sync with a pounding metal soundtrack, each kill making the music swell into a raw, adrenaline-fueled symphony of destruction.

What players say

Players largely love the fusion of rhythm-based shooting and heavy metal, often calling it Doom meets Guitar Hero. The game is short, around 5 hours, but offers challenge runs and achievements. Some find it frustrating when they can't stay on beat, and players split on whether the pacing punishes you for struggling or rewards you for doing well.
