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.

a chaotic, cartoon co-op romp where death is a minor setback and you repeatedly blast through changing dungeons with space-time abilities.

What players say

Players praise the co-op and the wide variety of weapons, but many say development was abandoned. Reviews also report that online servers no longer work, making the game single-player only.
