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 frantic, cartoonish superhero brawl where you herd a crowd of heroes into giant weapons while cracking jokes and struggling through punishing combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a weird but rewarding mix of Pikmin and Bayonetta, with a unique drawing mechanic for weapon switching. They report a steep learning curve that takes most of the game to master, and the controls can feel clunky and inconsistent until it clicks.
