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, open-world action RPG where you explore a procedurally generated dystopian wasteland with a jetpack, fighting intelligent robots using customizable weapons and abilities.

What players say

Players say ROMBIE is a punishing shooter where jetpack and cover are vital, set over an acid ocean. It shares the procedural loot and surreal style of Phr00t's earlier games like 3089, but some miss the freer loot drops. A few report lag on low settings, though the developer patched quickly. The early hours can feel sluggish until the upgrade loop clicks.
