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, retro arcade beat 'em up with local co-op and over-the-top action.

What players say

Players praise this as a solid old-school beat-em-up that uses digitized real actor sprites and includes gory Mortal Kombat-style finishers. It is based on an indie film and built with the BOR engine. A few note minor bugs and rough edges, but most find it fun and worth the price, especially in co-op.
