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 nostalgic and accessible brawler where you and a friend mash through fantasy enemies while customising your playstyle.

What players say

Players praise the local co-op and old-school beat 'em up action, with frequent comparisons to Golden Axe. The campaign is short, around 2 to 10 hours, and there is no online multiplayer, which disappoints some. Most consider it a solid free game, but note dated visuals and limited combat depth.
