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
Flying through neon fractal galaxies while blasting enemies to a reactive soundtrack feels like a vivid, synesthetic arcade trip.

What players say
Players use Polynomial 2 as a trippy music visualizer more than a shooter, the visuals are widely praised. But the game was abandoned in early access years ago, controls are clunky, movement feels slow, and the unskippable tutorial frustrates many. Player are split on whether the combat is worth bothering with.
