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 pixel-art 2D fighter that feels dark, gothic and atmospheric, with arcade pacing and a strong narrative backdrop.

What players say
Players praise this indie fighting game for its horror aesthetic and distinctive character designs, calling it a love letter to classic arcade brawlers. The single-developer origin story is frequently noted, as is the small roster of 8 characters. Some find the controls unresponsive or the input timing too strict, while others highlight the brief combos that evoke older Street Fighter games.
