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

It feels like a frantic, colorful rush as you and your friends dodge endless swarms and coordinate powerful synergies in real-time.

What players say

Players largely see this as a serviceable Vampire Survivors clone with Temtem skins. Co-op with friends is the highlight, but solo play feels anticlimactic. Many complain about poor visibility due to busy VFX, especially on Steam Deck, and runs that become pointless after upgrades stop appearing. Connection bugs plague duo sessions for some.
