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, high-speed arcade brawler where you must land precise hits on grotesque monsters that swarm from both sides until you fall.

What players say

Players cannot move and must attack enemies from left and right by pressing the correct button for the weak point, head, torso, or legs. They compare it to a rhythm game without musical cues rather than a beat 'em up or soulslike. Many find it addictive for short sessions and say it is hard to master but rarely rage-inducing.
