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 tense, fast-paced twin-stick shooter where you must manage limited ammo and a leaking radiation timer while frantically blasting through procedurally generated enemy waves.

What players say

Players call Atomic Heist a fun, addictive twin-stick rogue-lite with a clever radiation mechanic that slowly reduces max health. They praise the variety of enemies and weapons but note the game is short and, having no permanent upgrades, can get repetitive.
