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 tense, fast-paced twin-stick roguelite where you battle alien swarms in a dark post-apocalyptic world, with each run feeling like a desperate fight for survival.

What players say

Players are split on whether this early-access game delivered on its promise after a two-year silence and a quiet 1.0 launch. Fans of the robot aesthetic appreciate the short rounds and the recent dash addition, but many criticize the shallow roguelike progression, samey weapons, and a grind that feels like busywork rather than meaningful growth.
