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 brutally challenging, single-screen arcade shooter where you pilot a walking artillery unit against overwhelming odds, with a persistent sense of being underestimated and the need to fight back.

About

At first glance, Steos looks like a side-scrolling shooting game, but you are piloting a walking artillery unit, and everybody thinks you are expendable! It’s time to make everyone stop underestimating you and fight back! Yes, each stage is just one screen, and it’s totally nightmare difficulty.
