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

Play feels like a chaotic, arcade-style party shooter where you blast waves of colorful enemies with wacky upgrades alongside friends.

What players say

Players are charmed by the creative use of public domain characters and the voice acting, but note the game is light on content and rough around the edges. Enthusiasm for the campaign's first episode is high, though many see it as a promising foundation that needs more time.
