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 relentless, hard-boiled side-scrolling brawler where you wade through blood-soaked streets as a detective pushed to brutal extremes, with a grim, noir-driven atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and Oldboy-inspired aesthetic, but most find the combat clunky, repetitive, and sluggish. Fights rely on the same few combos and finishers that take too long, and enemies often stunlock or have too much health.
