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 multiplayer brawler where players gleefully smash each other across colorful gothic arenas using cartoonish weaponry and physics-based combat.

What players say

Players praise the local co-op and character variety, but many warn that the online co-op is broken: it is in beta, requires an Epic account, and often fails to connect. Combat divides people, with some calling it slow and unresponsive while others find it fluid on a controller. Late reviews report game-breaking bugs that were never fixed.
