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 fast-paced vehicle shooter with roguelite progression where you blast through enemy forces in a heavily armed experimental tank.

What players say

Players enjoy the hovertank feel and integrated cockpit HUD, but many report game-breaking crashes that wipe roguelike progress, especially on bosses. Opinions split on the grind for unlocks and the repetitive combat, while some compare it unfavorably to the classic Descent.
