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 fast-paced, retro-styled fighter that feels snappy and precise, balancing deep mechanics with easy pick-up-and-play accessibility.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and satisfying combat, but split on the mechanics: some call it deep and accessible, others find the input recognition poor and the systems-overloaded. A common lament is a small roster with paid DLC and a near-dead online since launch.
