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 co-op space adventure where you and your crew scramble to upgrade your ship and survive waves of enemies, with procedural runs and high tension.

What players say

Players call it a promising co-op spaceship game abandoned by its developer with no updates since 2023. It draws comparisons to FTL and Overcooked but many find the fetch-and-carry gameplay repetitive and fiddly, and say solo play is frustrating. The community is split on whether it is worth a cheap buy with friends or too unfinished to bother.
