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, chaotic rush to collect resources and survive against waves of alien enemies with friends, culminating in a tense boss fight.

What players say

Players highlight local co-op as the focus, best with three friends on a couch via Steam Link. The game is a twin-stick shooter where you defend a rover while mining, with permanent friendly fire adding chaos. It is light on content, and some call it an unfinished school project. Disagreement exists: a few find it bland and lacking features like background music or clunky controls.
