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 shootout against waves of increasingly smart aliens, demanding quick reflexes and constant movement.

What players say

Players call it a barebones Vampire Survivors clone with short play sessions, though some enjoy it for the price. Many warn that a specific build of Vitality, Armor and Ion Shield feels mandatory, and others report slow movement speed and abandoned development.
