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 quick, lighthearted hack-and-slash where you play as an outcast mushroom mowing down others with a bizarre sense of vindication.

What players say

Players split on this short 20-30 minute top-down brawler. Fans appreciate the fair price and chiptune music, but critics find the single attack and three health pips too shallow. The surreal mushroom story barely registers.
