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.

What players say

Players describe it as a retro beat 'em up with pixel art in 3D environments, where combat is simple and repetitive but the visual style and variety of weapons keep it fun. Some compare it to Duke Nukem or River City Ransom, while others find the controls clunky and say it relies on button mashing.
