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.

What players say

Players are divided on Novi Cube. Many enjoy it as a cheap, addictive roguelite twist on Breakout, praising the meta progression and music. But others say it relies too much on random upgrades, especially the overpowered shotgun, and criticize bugs and a broken endless mode.
