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 frantic, stylish hybrid of hack-and-slash and shooter gameplay with a campy, over-the-top cyberpunk cop saga feel.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this bizarre action game. Fans love its eccentric style and challenging katana-focused combat, comparing it favorably to older action games. Critics call the controls janky, the gunplay weak, and the difficulty frustrating, especially on the final level. The campaign is very short at around 5-6 hours.
