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

It feels like a frantic, high-speed power fantasy where you soar through alien hordes with a jetpack, dodging and blasting everything in a messy, gory ballet.

What players say

Players enjoy the jetpack twist and fast combat but find the meta progression too slow and the endgame unbalanced, with spongy enemies and one-shots on higher difficulties. Reviewers also note limited weapon variety and a grindy start before the game opens up.
