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, explosion-heavy action game with a raw, unfinished feel.

What players say

Players praise the fast gunplay and grapple-hook movement, which ties into a shield-refill mechanic. Many compare it to Roboquest or Gunfire Reborn. However, reviewers split on replayability: some say runs feel too similar and the roguelite build variety is shallow, while others enjoy the synergies. Co-op works well across skill levels.
