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 say X-Mutation is a challenging action roguelike that rewards mastering jumps and rolls, with deep build crafting through mutations and passive skills. It offers good enemy and boss variety, though some find the difficulty punishing early on and note that runs past 30 minutes feel unrewarding. Support for the Steam Deck and responsive devs are appreciated.
