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 chaotic and colorful cooperative spell-slinging adventure where friendly fire accidents and rapid progression create a lighthearted, frantic atmosphere.

What players say

A solid couch co-op from the Trine studio that players enjoy with family or friends, especially for its chaotic friendly fire and healing-enemies twist. Many call it repetitive and note that the online multiplayer is broken or unplayable. Players also complain about the split-screen camera and a steep difficulty spike near the end.
