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 arcade-style wave shooter where you scavenge weapons and ammo while fighting endless hostile creatures in a dark, post-volcanic wasteland.

What players say

Players strongly criticize the game for forcing co-op with no viable single-player mode and a dead multiplayer population, making it unplayable as intended. Many call it an asset flip with bugs and poor AI, though a few praise the atmosphere and lore despite the issues.
