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 lighthearted, old-school side-scrolling brawler with cartoon charm, straightforward combat, and a playful tone.

What players say

Players praise the game's charming art style and music, calling it a fun and underrated beat 'em up that channels Castle Crashers. However, reviews are split on combat depth: some find it simple and repetitive, while others enjoy the mini-games and hidden secrets.
