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 frantic top-down survival game where you blast through waves of enemies in colorful pixel art chaos.

What players say

Players praise the robot theme, enemy variety, and unique character abilities, but they split on the experience orbs that expire after a short time, which some find frustrating and others see as a strategic twist. The game has only 2 maps, slow movement speed, and runs well on Steam Deck.
