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 ridiculously bloody and cartoonish arcade brawler with over-the-top action and dark humor.

What players say

Players say BATS is a short, retro 2D platformer with simple mechanics and a heavy emphasis on memorizing boss patterns. The lack of checkpoints or save progress forces you to complete the game in one sitting. There are multiple characters but they play similarly, and many note the game is fun but over quickly.
