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 roguelite where you pilot a hovercraft through zombie-filled ruins, salvaging parts and upgrading to survive each run.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic art style and find the bullet heaven gameplay neat, but note it is short and janky in early access. One player was frustrated by a bug where the game demands attention when minimized. Reviews are split on recommending it now versus waiting for updates.
