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.

What players say

Players praise Xeno Rangers for blending active shoot em up combat with tower defense strategy, forcing you to fight alongside your turrets and manage resources like in Tiberian Sun. The game has eight distinct characters, a quirky 50s steampunk aesthetic, and a soundtrack players call great, but some say the story takes up too much space and a few report crashes during co-op play.
