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 flashy, fast-paced 2D fighter with sci-fi flair and a playful combat rhythm.

What players say

Players like the art and gameplay, but warn that the small playerbase makes online matches hard to find. The early access has lasted years with no 1.0 in sight, leaving some calling it vaporware.
