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 relentless, brutal ballet of street fighting where you mow down waves of enemies with stylish, hyper-kinetic combos against a ticking clock.

What players say

Players praise the fast, brutal combat and compare it to a lighter, less serious Sifu. The campaign is short at 6-9 hours, keyboard and mouse controls feel clunky, and the game runs well on Steam Deck.
