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 grungy, strategic time-management RPG where you juggle training and sleaze in a darkly funny retro cyberpunk world.

What players say

Players split on Punch Club 2. Some praise its pixel art and humor packed with movie references, while many find the second chapter grindy and repetitive. Bugs, like the yoga girl quest, persist years after release, and early-game decisions can soft lock progress. Combat requires tactical adjustments per enemy, but the core loop feels like work to some.
