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 zippy, chaotic island-hopping loot shooter where you zoom around blasting hordes with ever-escalating power, best shared with friends.

What players say

Players love this as a fast co-op shooter with roguelike progression, often comparing it to Risk of Rain 2. It is made by a solo developer, so updates are steady but slow, and some long-time players felt the Fire and Magic Update shifted the game in a direction they did not fully appreciate.
