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 tense, methodical twin-stick shooter where careful planning and quick reflexes are needed to dismantle alien ships, with high stakes and a satisfying loop of risk and reward.

What players say
Players are split on Cryptark. They praise the strategic planning of disabling ship systems and the aesthetic, but frustration centers on off-screen enemy attacks, repetitive content, and persistent bugs that cause crashes and lost progress. The price is seen as too high for what's on offer.
