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.

What players say

Players call this a raw, old-school beat 'em up that captures the feel of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage. It has a long campaign, multiple difficulty levels, and six characters including two hidden ones. Some find individual stages too long with no meaningful progression system, and the difficulty can spike even on Easy.
