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
You lead a squad of experimental mech suits through procedurally generated dungeons, balancing careful tactical positioning with the constant threat of permadeath and the need to rebuild your team from salvaged parts.

What players say
Players praise the turn-based strategy and roguelite loot system, often comparing it to X-COM meets Diablo. Many highlight the punishing difficulty and the need for careful team building. Reactions to balance are split, with some finding early spikes frustrating. The music, co-op mode, and space horror atmosphere are consistently mentioned as strengths.
