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 top-down bullet hell shooter with cartoony space-western flair where players dodge waves of projectiles while improvising with quirky weapons.

What players say

Players call it a competent Enter the Gungeon clone that gets stale after about 10 hours. The sniper character is considered overpowered while another is nearly unplayable, and the meta progression with only 3 underwhelming permanent upgrades is widely criticized as the worst in the genre.
