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

You dash through neon alien-infested corridors, grabbing loot and turning enemy lasers back on them with frantic twin-stick action.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced combat and enemy-infighting mechanics, but many criticize forced weapon challenges for skill points and performance drops. The game is considered basic and generic in its early access state, with lackluster loot and no soundtrack yet, though it offers fun for short sessions.
