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, cartoony action survival game where you dash around as a ham warrior, automatically attacking while strategically combining weapons and attributes to survive waves of alien monsters.

What players say

Players like the synergy system but say balance is poor: only bows and guns can clear higher difficulties. Many warn that development stalled by late 2023 and the game is abandoned.
