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, physics-driven melee brawler that feels like an over-the-top, dynamic bar fight with voxel enemies shattered by improvised weapons.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying physics-based combat and gore, calling it a great way to vent. The game offers a variety of modes and Steam Workshop support, though the roguelike mode is widely disliked. Many note the main game gets repetitive quickly, and the level editor has persistent crashing issues.
