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 twin-stick shooter where you pilot customizable mechs with friends through procedurally generated alien hordes to reclaim a colony ship.

What players say

Players report the game is unplayable online because the developer shut down the master server, making multiplayer lobbies and even single-player hosting fail. Local couch co-op still works for some, but the game is abandoned, buggy, and feels unfinished, with clunky controls, scarce ammo, and controller input issues.
