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

Side-scrolling brawler where you take direct action against cartoonishly evil capitalists with satisfying punch-ups and a touch of dark humor.

What players say

Players praise the political message and co-op fun, but consistently say the controls feel clunky and the campaign is short, finishing in two to three hours.
