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 top-down shooter where you blast through hordes of monsters to collect ever-stacking loot and swag, with permadeath forcing repeated runs.

What players say

Players praise the core loop of shooting, looting and co-op chaos, but nearly everyone flags instability: crashes are common, especially when a host leaves mid-session. The game is also called out for missing basics like a tutorial and minimap, while keyboard rebinding is broken. Reviews agree the fun is held back by rough edges.
