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-paced horde survival game where you grind through hectic 20-minute rounds, unlocking upgrades and facing tough bosses.

What players say

Players are split, with many long-time Chronicon fans deeply disappointed. Complaints center on boring upgrades, runs that all feel the same, enemies that become bullet sponges, and a general lack of the depth the original had. A few players who stuck with it say updates have improved the game over time.
