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 high-energy, acrobatic ballet of gunplay and slow-motion destruction that feels both ridiculous and empowering.

What players say

Players love the fluid, over-the-top gun-fu action and slow-motion trickshots, calling it a cross between Hotline Miami and Max Payne. However, they split on the later puzzle-platforming sections, which some find momentum-killing, and many note the campaign is short and leaves them wanting a sequel.
