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, fast-paced local multiplayer bout where players fling themselves as space narwhals in frantic and humorous battles.

What players say

Players praise STARWHAL as a chaotic and silly local party game with wobbly physics and tense last-life standoffs. The lack of online multiplayer is a recurring limitation, but those who gather friends on a couch find it endlessly fun for short sessions.
