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.

What players say

Players praise the fun side-scrolling shooter with deep ship customization and RPG-style upgrades. Many note that the early game is punishing until you accumulate credits, but the progression becomes addictive. Reviews also highlight solid co-op play and frequent updates, while some advise that it remains early access with rough edges.
