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 chaotic, co-op twin-stick shooter with destructible environments and a gritty dieselpunk aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and chaotic twin-stick action, but many report technical problems like bugged achievements, a poor save system, and scaling issues. Difficulty is high even on easy, and some late-game weapons feel underpowered.
