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

The game feels like being a gleefully destructive villain, commanding a horde of chaotic minions to wreck an orderly empire with dark humor and absurd violence.

What players say

Players who liked the first game will likely enjoy this sequel, as it improves the story and graphics while keeping similar minion mechanics, though some find it more tedious with checkpoint gaps and repeated enemies.
