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 nostalgic arcade beat 'em up where you and a friend unleash combos across wild, dimension-hopping brawls.

What players say

Players praise the game's comic-book art style and nostalgic feel, but nearly all agree it is very short, clunky, and repetitive. Combat is limited to button mashing and the camera can feel restrictive. The developers have not updated the game since 2018, leaving its early-access potential unrealized.
