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-style twin-stick shooter where you dash and blast through waves of monstrous enemies with energy weapons and a temporary mech power-up.

What players say

Players praise the addictive gameplay loop and chaotic bullet-hell action, especially in local co-op. Many note the campaign requires replaying the same levels three times to unlock everything, which feels grindy. Difficulty and build viability depend heavily on random weapon and perk drops, leading to some frustration.
