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 fast-paced competitive robot brawler where customizing and upgrading modules is key to dominating opponents in team or free-for-all matches.

What players say

Players report the game fails to launch or sticks on an endless loading screen, and those who get in find empty servers with bots that award no experience or currency. The UI and tooltips are unclear, translation is poor, and mechs feel unbalanced, while progression is broken and microtransactions push pay-to-win.
