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, retro arcade-style twin-stick shooter where you zip through space, mine crystals, and build a super weapon to fight a demon lord.

What players say

Players describe Devileader as a faithful homage to Sinistar with frantic arcade action and a punishing difficulty spike on the boss. The controls and overheating thruster take getting used to, but the game runs well on Steam Deck.
