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 physics-driven anime fighter that feels like a fast, technical platform brawler with flashy combos and a welcoming community.

What players say

Players praise the Melee-inspired movement and combo system, especially the shine mechanics and combo trials, but note a tight L-cancel window and unpolished animations. Rollback netcode works well, though the playerbase is small and some report controller issues on the character select screen.
