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 chaotic rhythm-action roguelike where you blast through procedurally generated levels to a metal soundtrack.

What players say

Players say Metal Tales Overkill is a very short, Binding of Isaac-like twin-stick roguelike with a standout heavy metal soundtrack and comic-book art, but it feels more like an ad for the featured bands than a full game. Some find the constant loading screens and progress-halting bugs frustrating, and fans of metal enjoy it more than others.
