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 but accessible arcade shooter with procedurally generated chaos.

What players say

Players praise the blend of classic top-down shooting with base building and farming, calling it a unique mix that works. The game is compared to 1990s arcade shooters like Alien Swarm, and reviewers note it runs well even in early access. Some wish for multiplayer, and the custom level editor is a highlight.
