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

You pilot a customizable mech through fast, chaotic firefights, switching between ranged and melee against swarms of screeching monsters and massive bosses.

What players say

Players praise the movement and gunplay, calling it a fast-paced mix of Diablo and Doom, but the price is widely considered too high for an early access game with repetitive content and limited build variety. A controversial design choice forces melee for ammo, and Steam Deck users report stuttering even on low settings.
