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

Piloting a mech through a poisoned, war-torn jungle planet with a cartoony, hand-drawn look and a heavy emphasis on survival and choices.

What players say

Players enjoy the mech movement and premise but are split on the controls, which many call unergonomic and QWOP-like. The two endings feel abrupt and leave story threads hanging, and there is no endgame content to continue after the 6-hour campaign. Some call the gameplay repetitive, while others praise the weapon upgrades and difficulty options.
