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 quick, punishing arcade shooter where each short run demands rapid reflexes and mastery of varied weapons against procedurally spawned enemies and bosses.

What players say

Players describe Ironguard as an inverse tower defense FPS where rooms seal and spawn turrets. It is very short, around 20 minutes to beat, and reviews are split on whether the repetition and lack of mobile enemies make it dull, though some enjoy the weapon and perk variety.
