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 rhythmic, high-skill action game where you must parry, counter, and break enemy attacks with precise timing and style.

What players say

Players praise the varied characters and satisfying combat builds but split on the game's depth. Many criticize the repetitive maps, grindy reputation and currency system, and a glide bug that remains unpatched. The forgiving parry mechanic and fun in-run combos are highlights, though some find the difficulty curve frustrating and the campaign too short.
