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, fast-paced bullet hell where you auto-attack while weaving through neon-hued enemy hordes to reclaim a city block by block.

What players say

Players praise the active skills and mission objectives that add depth beyond auto-shooting, and find the hand-crafted maps less repetitive than procedural ones. However, several reviews warn that development stalled in 2023 without communication, making it risky to buy.
