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 relentless twin-stick arena shooter where your score doubles as your health, creating constant tension between aggressive play and survival

What players say

Players say the loop is addictive, with the score doubling as currency to push aggressive play. Some note the upgrades feel too incremental and the visuals can become cluttered, though VR support is a welcome addition.
