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, arcade-hard brawler where you mash buttons through hordes of enemies with exaggerated anime-style action and a tongue-in-cheek tone.

What players say

Players say controls and animations are bad, the dialogue is cringey, and bosses feel cheap. Some note the game is very short, around 45 to 60 minutes, and recommend a controller.
