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 chaotic co-op shooter with fast twin-stick action, bright retro visuals, and a survival-driven sci-fi story.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and fun co-op, but opinions split on the campaign pacing. Some like the RPG-lite progression, while others note that late levels have infinite enemy spawns that kill the fun. The online multiplayer is called unfinished and buggy, and the AI companion Corby struggles to survive.
