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 roguelike shooter where you battle through a radioactive wasteland as a humanoid animal, scavenging loot and artifacts to survive increasingly difficult levels.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun but shallow roguelike shooter that runs out of new content after a few hours. Reviews note significant balance issues between characters and point out that the maps and enemy patterns feel repetitive across runs.
