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, top-down pixel hack-and-slash where you bash enemies in quick, repetitive runs.

What players say

Players compare it to its predecessor In Celebration of Violence, but find it rougher. Combat feels clunky with a tripping mechanic that frustrates, and basic quality-of-life features like restarting or keeping a weapon after death are missing. Players split on whether the lack of hand-holding is rewarding or punishing.
