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 chaotic, fast-paced couch multiplayer brawler where players bounce shots off walls in procedurally generated arenas.

What players say

Players love Varion as a chaotic party game that shines with friends, praising its short, intense matches and clever shot-bouncing mechanic. Some note controller controls are finicky, and the difficulty can feel punishing at first, especially solo against AI.
