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 chaotic arcade shooter where you fight across collapsing time periods, swapping weapons from different eras on the fly.

What players say

Players praise the map-changing idea but say the execution is rough, with hitreg issues, frame drops during shifts, and stiff movement. Most agree the population died fast, and split on whether the devs deserved more patience, with some pointing to the finished shop and battle pass while core features were still broken.
