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 brisk, cooperative twin-stick shooter with a salvage mechanic that rewards strategic upgrades between fast-paced arcade missions.

What players say

Opinion splits sharply: a few players enjoy the co-op and ship variety, but many more say the controls are unresponsive, upgrades feel meaningless, and the campaign quickly becomes monotonous.
