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 fast-paced, cartoony looter shooter that blends difficult souls-like combat with humorous post-apocalyptic exploration.

What players say

Players compare it to classic Fallout games for its tone and map travel, but opinions split hard on difficulty and balance, some find it brutally punishing while others say it clicks with practice. The biggest complaint is content feels bare bones even for early access, though most agree the price is fair and the single developer communicates well.
