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 frantic, paint-splattering arena shooter that feels like a vibrant, low-stakes party brawl.

What players say

Players call it a 2D Splatoon clone with solid weapon variety and short matches, but most say the online is dead and the $15 price tag is too steep for what was once free. A few enjoy it for quick, decompressing sessions, while others find it glitchy and repetitive.
