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 fast arcade space shooter with quick combat loops and a focus on fighting enemies and bosses.

What players say

Players say each ship has three distinct weapons but unlocking descriptions are hidden. Combat feels good but there is no way to dodge enemy lock-ons. The ESC menu interrupts gameplay flow, and several UI issues like overlapping buttons frustrate. The game suits quick sessions with its roguelike upgrades.
