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 and strategic twin-stick shooter where you scavenge resources and craft loadouts to survive hostile alien territories.

What players say

Players recommend waiting for a sale: the game is solid for 8 hours but gets stale fast. Maps are uninspired, with the first being the best, and balance is uneven, fire weapons feel punishing while particle turrets dominate. Some report save bugs and wish for online co-op.
