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 lead a growing army of undead gnomes through fast-paced twin-stick battles, leveling up and looting procedurally in a corrupted fantasy world.

What players say

Players enjoy the chaotic fun of raising a gnome army, especially in local co-op, but criticize the controls for not being a true twin-stick shooter despite the tag. Gnomes blocking the player and pushing loot away is a common frustration, and some point out early-access rough edges like no exit button and camera issues.
