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

This is a fast and chaotic auto-shooter where you mow down endless alien hordes while mining for upgrades and treasure.

What players say

Players are split: many praise the mining and build variety as a fresh spin on the survivor-like formula, while a larger group calls the grind tedious and the late game broken, with a sharp difficulty spike after Hazard 3 forcing reliance on luck rather than skill. The lack of co-op and repetitive runs are common complaints, though fans of Deep Rock Galactic enjoy the theme.
