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 frantic struggle in dark caves where you must deflect bullets, grab fleeting weapons, and unleash timed ultimate attacks to survive endless waves of enemies.

What players say

Players praise the lore, choice-driven deaths, and satisfying weapon play, but many note the screen shake is distracting and complain the game lacks variety. It works best in short bursts. The hard and nightmare modes test your reflexes.
