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, arcade-style shooter where you fire huge energy blasts from a lunar defense weapon against waves of alien invaders.

What players say

Players describe AEGIS 2186 as a simple but difficult arcade survival game where you rotate a fixed turret, manage energy for shots, and use limited missiles. Many compare it to Asteroids but note you cannot move, only turn. Some warn it feels stuck in Early Access and lacks content, while others enjoy the short leaderboard runs.
