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 stripped-down, high-speed arcade survival shooter where you rely on a minimap and pure instinct to dodge relentless enemy swarms with no upgrades or second chances.

What players say

Players praise the core concept of piloting a damaged mech with compromised vision in a tense ambush. The challenge ramps up quickly, making it replayable, but many note the early access game is still barebones and needs more enemy and weapon variety.
