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 top-down shooter where you survive waves of alien creatures and combine upgrades to feel increasingly powerful.

What players say

Players praise the addictive gameplay loop and versatile upgrade system, though some find certain difficulty spikes frustrating. The game runs well on Steam Deck and its soundtrack stands out, but a few reviewers note it feels unpolished in places while expressing confidence in the responsive developers.
