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, brutal 2D fighter set in a historical Japanese dark fantasy, demanding sharp reflexes in local duels.

What players say

Players praise the two-hit-to-kill mechanic for being fresh and simple, but the game is held back by dead multiplayer, stupid AI, poor UI and control mapping, and very little content outside of training and a bare-bones story.
