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

It feels like a frantic, arcade-style twin-stick shooter where you blast through waves of alien bugs in short, repeatable runs, leveling up quickly and unlocking upgrades between loops.

What players say

Players describe it as a solid twin-stick roguelite with satisfying horde combat and a working 4-player co-op, though some note online is dead. They split on length, with completion times ranging from 5 to 18 hours for all unlocks, and while some find it short, others get dozens of hours from co-op. A few highlight performance issues and barebones early access state.
