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 campy, fast-paced 2D fighter with simple controls, retro visuals, and a lighthearted B-movie horror aesthetic inspired by Mexican Luchador films.

What players say

Players praise the simple three-button controls and the distinctive theme pulled from Mexican horror and Luchador cinema. It is widely seen as easy to pick up for fighting game newcomers and works well as a party game, though the hit feedback and sound design draw some criticism.
