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

Fast, challenging runs with tight platforming and gunplay, balanced by ever-changing level layouts and satisfying power-ups.

What players say

Players call it a competent Mega Man X roguelike but split on whether it delivers. Some praise the fast movement and co-op, while others fault the soul chip system that locks upgrades to a single run and the uneven level design. Many note 30XX improves on nearly everything.
