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, cooperative planetary-crawler with a wisecracking tone and tactical combat as you replay to stop an alien threat.

What players say

Players like the local co-op and four distinct characters, but the online co-op never came, and some find the runs repetitive. Progress carries over between deaths, though the item drops can feel unbalanced.
