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 fast-paced twin-stick shooter with pixel-art visuals, focusing on repetitive arcade combat and roguelite progression.

What players say
Players are split on RICE: some enjoy the meta progression and build variety, but many cite severe performance issues, lag from too many entities, and UI scaling problems. Development appears to have stalled, and the AI-generated credits in the ending are a point of controversy.
