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, bomb-filled arena brawler that feels like a frantic, party-fueled retro arcade session with friends.

What players say

Players call it a chaotic, fun Bomberman homage with creative map gimmicks and a standout ghost mode that lets dead players help or hinder. There is no tutorial, the AI is punishing, and the lack of online matchmaking makes multiplayer reliant on local friends. A few find the controls clunky and content light.
