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
Playing feels like a frantic, colorful anime action game where you dash through sci-fi corridors, grabbing random power-ups and smashing robot enemies in short, repeatable runs.

What players say
Players describe Metallic Child as a fun but flawed roguelite that blends Hades with Mega Man. The permanent upgrades feel limited and temporary buffs expire mid-boss, which players find frustrating. The dodge and block are not always reliable, and the final stage is a difficulty spike. The story ends on a sequel hook that has not been followed up since 2021.
