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 relaxing yet addictive arcade shooter that rewards experimenting with deep skill trees and build customization while constantly moving through enemy-filled arenas.

What players say

Players love the absurdly large skill tree and buildcrafting, but warn that the game can crash when builds get too strong. There is no way to refund skill points to try new builds, and the developer is no longer updating the game.
