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 tense, methodical crawl through an infested space station where each turn matters and death is permanent.

What players say

Players describe Xenomarine as a solid ranged-focused traditional roguelike with a space horror feel, small fast levels, and simple crafting. Many praise the variety of enemies and gear, though some find it repetitive after a few hours and note the interface could be better.
