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

You carefully assemble and upgrade a team of survivors, then send them through a gate to see how long they can last against increasingly dangerous worlds.

What players say

Players report the game is barely functional: the UI lacks tooltips and an equip system, combat bugs can lock units from attacking, and development appears to have been dropped for the studio's next project. Some see potential in the meta-progression and class variety, but the bugs and lack of content leave most saying it is not ready.
