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

You mow through endless hordes in a top-down arena, upgrading gear and skills across brisk runs with a bright yet grim fantasy sheen.

What players say

Players are split on Nyran Survivors. Some call it a solid, fun addition to the genre with good replay value and satisfying visuals, while others find it repetitive, grindy, and lacking innovation. The cursor-based aiming and dodge mechanic are noted as distinguishing features, but many request auto-aim. A common specific complaint is that completing a run feels anticlimactic.
