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 deliberate, squad-based top-down shooter where managing ammo, fatigue, and skills is key to surviving biological threats.

What players say

Players appreciate the squad management system that forces switching between characters due to fatigue, but note the tutorial could be more thorough and the controls take getting used to. Some find the game offers a fair challenge with limited resources, while others compare it favorably to alien breed games.
