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.

a fast-paced arcade roguelike where you constantly fight swarms of enemies and upgrade your ship between zones.

What players say

Players enjoy the meta progression and unlocking new ships, with TP as the main currency. Runs feel similar but the sense of power growth keeps them coming back. The difficulty is more forgiving than other space shooters, offering a winnable campaign.
