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 cute but tense side-scrolling beat 'em up where simple arcade action, combo chaining, and survival against waves of enemies demand your attention.

What players say

Players are split between those who enjoy it as a simple arcade game and those who see it as a scam. Several warn that buying in-game items from other users can result in losing money or being banned. Fans like the cute pixel art and combo-based combat, but many find it repetitive and grindy after a few hours.
