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, arcade-style space shooter where death fuels gradual power-ups and the difficulty escalates with each wave.

What players say

Players praise the unique 'overcharge' mechanic where blowing up your ship powers you up, adding risk and depth. Controls can be tricky with PS4 pads, and the story mode has bugs that cause progression blocks, though the endless mode is the main draw and well-liked for its replayability.
