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 frantic and chaotic party brawler where players build castles and engage in slapstick sword fights and cannon battles.

What players say

Players enjoy KnightOut as a local party game with friends, especially in 2v2 matches, but many criticize the lack of online multiplayer, the short match duration where castles build in minutes but fall in seconds, and a sense that after years of development the game still feels like a proof of concept with limited content and bugs.
