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 chaotic and playful physics brawler with intentionally awkward controls, making every fight a goofy, creative mess.

What players say

Players largely remember this as a bizarre and funny fighter from 2005, but say it no longer runs on current systems and its once-busy multiplayer is dead. The story mode takes about an hour, and the unusual mouse-driven controls are unlike anything else. Some call it a historic curio as the first non-Valve game on Steam, while others warn it is abandoned and barely functional.
