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 feel like a real robot engineer, methodically assembling and coding a machine then pitting it against opponents in a tactical arena.

What players say

Players like the mech building and programming ideas but warn the multiplayer servers are dead, leaving no meaningful content to play. Some also complain about a required third-party account and poor optimization.
