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 fast-paced action RPG where movement and shooting are tightly linked, encouraging constant motion.

What players say

Players praise the unique recoil-based movement, but the need to relearn controls divides them. The first ship forces shooting to move, while later ships offer traditional controls. The campaign runs about 5 hours and lacks narrative depth.
