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 blistering, arcade-like retro shooter with pixelated blood and heavy metal flair, focused on non-stop action and enemy annihilation.

What players say

Players are split, with Warhammer 40K fans enjoying the setting and gibs while boomer shooter fans find it average. The gunplay and movement feel solid, but the level design is often called repetitive and confusing, the music is forgettable, and performance stutters can hurt fast action.
