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 top-down space shooter with random loot and ship upgrades, feeling like a grind-heavy arcade RPG.

What players say

Players call it a fun vertical shooter with RPG upgrades and random weapon drops, praising the ship customization and good value. Most agree the graphics are rough but the gameplay, music, and loot systems make up for it.
