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

You and up to three friends blast through waves of enemies in a top-down sci-fi dungeon, picking up loot and leveling distinct hero classes in a chaotic, arcade-style action RPG.

What players say

Players praise the smooth shooting and satisfying gunplay, but consistently say content is very limited for the early access price. Reviews split on value: some recommend supporting active devs, others call it a proof of concept not worth $25. A frequent complaint is the lack of saving in survival mode.
