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 frenetic, pixelated brawler with destructible environments and physics-based combat, set in a cursed castle with a chaotic and punishing flow.

What players say

Players describe it as a clunky physics-based puzzle platformer where you jump on pioneers to sacrifice them. The story is incomprehensible but intentionally bizarre, and the controls take time to master. Reviews split on whether it is fun trash or not worth the money.
