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 proudly janky, low-poly spectacle fighter that feels like a chaotic, heroic brawl against hordes of lizards with a self-serious tone undercut by its absurd premise.

What players say

Players praise the Slavic memes and humor, but note the game has janky animations and enemies that feel overtuned, making it a tough souls-like experience. The survival mode gets brutal around wave 11, and reviews split on polish, some call it a funny cheap co-op romp, others mind the bugs.
