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, over-the-top brawler with cartoony but brutal combat and dark humor.

What players say

Players call this a faithful return to 1990s Polish beat 'em ups, especially as a sequel to the Amiga cult classic Franko. The combat is grounded and brutal, with finishers and environmental throws, but opinions split on its length and repetition, and some report technical bugs with co-op and startup.
