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 chaotic, retro-styled horde shooter where you frantically blast endless waves of cosmic horrors with an absurd arsenal, balancing survival against a stylish B-movie aesthetic.

What players say

Players like the comic book visuals and manual aiming twist on the Vampire Survivors formula, and co-op is a highlight. But they criticize very slow meta-progression, a short campaign around 4-5 hours, lack of Steam Deck support, and some performance problems. Players are split on recommending it, with many saying better options exist in the genre.
