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, high-skill co-op twin-stick shooter where you build crazy weapons and blast through swarms of enemies.

What players say

Players praise the chaotic arcade action and modular ship-building, but many report the game crashes every few minutes, has an overly simple UI, and feels abandoned by the developer since early access stalled years ago. Reviews split on whether the grind and dated presentation outweigh the fun.
