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 cheeky, self-aware hack-and-slash adventure with a sarcastic protagonist and playful tone.

What players say

Players praise the humor, songs, and voice acting but find the gameplay just okay and the controls clunky. A few report catastrophic bugs on Steam Deck that make the game unplayable.
