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

Blasting through a chaotic alien ship with absurdly powerful mutant chickens feels like a frantic, silly, and adrenaline-fueled shootout.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the core gameplay loop and find it fun, but many say it lacks content and feels like a demo, with only a few hours of playtime, unbalanced weapons, and repetitive enemies. Reviews also note bugs and the need for more updates.
