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 roguelite shooter where you quickly move through dark, varied environments, building a squad to survive relentless Nazi and supernatural enemies.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying gunplay and weapon detail, like visible bullet casings and magazines, but note the graphics look dated. The game is free and offers squad recruitment, though bosses are on the easy side. Some report a game crash after defeating the final boss.
