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 fast-paced, loop-driven boss rush where each fight is a quick test of managing resources and upgrading between battles.

What players say
Players appreciate the unique visual style and satisfying core loop, but many find the early difficulty punishing due to extremely tanky enemies, no visible damage feedback, and a long unskippable intro. A vocal minority warns the game was abandoned in beta at version 0.7 as the developer moved on to a sequel.
