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 survival and tactical assault game with a heavy sense of isolation and attrition against relentless mechanical foes.

What players say

Players like the mix of shooting and tower defense, with a lightsaber to deflect shots. The gunplay is satisfying and the strategy layer works, but some find it repetitive and buggy, with occasional freezing and slowdown. Views split: some see good value for the low price, others say it lacks polish and content.
