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 fast-paced, cartoonish brawler with silly set-pieces and over-the-top action.

What players say

Players report a short, free beat-em-up with a unique art style but crippling bugs like falling through floors and no way to revive a co-op partner. Combat has no hit feedback, controls are awkward with no rebinding, and several levels can softlock. Some see potential, but most find it too broken to recommend.
