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 frantic top-down shooter where you and friends dodge bullet patterns and upgrade skills on the fly, chasing a mysterious relic through alien ruins.

What players say

Players compare it to a simpler top-down Risk of Rain where most fun toys are locked behind runs. They enjoy the short sessions and co-op but find the final boss disappointing, just a damage sponge with no interesting mechanics. Long-time players report that after eight months the only new content was a paid DLC, followed by news of no further support.
