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 fast-paced third-person action adventure that lets you set your own pace with side missions between intense story battles.

What players say

Players love the absurd, time-hopping Suda51 story and the flashy combat, but performance is a persistent sore spot, many report it demands high-end hardware to run smoothly, especially on Unreal Engine 5, though a minority claim it runs fine on mid-range rigs.
