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 frantic, high-stakes dungeon crawl where death is part of the loop, pushing players to upgrade and adapt in a gritty cyberpunk world.

What players say

Players describe Metal Mutation as a clunky action roguelite with a satisfying parry system, but the combat feels rigid, the translation is poor, and levels grow repetitive. Some compare it to Hades while noting stricter dodging and a strong reliance on parries.
