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 mix of team shootouts and wave defense against alien swarms, with score-streak rewards adding a chaotic arcade feel.

What players say

Players call it an unfinished, near-empty early access build. The multiplayer is dead, controls lack rebinding, movement is slow, and enemies have no sound. A few find the gunplay solid and the score system clever, but most say it is not worth the price.
