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 deliberate, methodical tactical space shooter built on careful iteration rather than breakneck pace.

What players say

Players praise the frantic arcade action and escalating difficulty, likening it to Hotline Miami in space. Early access means content is thin, but the soundtrack and sound design stand out. A few report launch issues like max volume and no fullscreen option.
