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 frantic arcade survival game where you deflect enemy attacks with your shield while building combos against endless waves in an arena.

What players say

Players describe this as a simple arcade arena brawler where you only use a shield. The biggest complaint is that advertised online and local multiplayer do not work. Many call it repetitive and lacking content, though a few found it a decent cheap time waster. Long-time players note the game appears abandoned in early access.
