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 frantic arcade shoot 'em up where you dodge enemies and build random skill trees in a pixelated dash for survival.

What players say

Players are split on the difficulty: some find the first run too easy and combat same-y across classes, while others appreciate the lack of a painful grind. The randomly generated talent tree frustrates some, and a few note crashes at late-game waves or recommend buying only on sale.
