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, arcade-style beat-em-up where you stylishly slice through demons with intuitive controls and cartoon violence.

What players say

Players are split on Shing! The analog stick combat is either innovative or frustrating, and the 4-5 hour campaign is short with no character upgrades. Co-op is praised, but some find the gameplay repetitive and the difficulty uneven.
