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 demanding boxing game that rewards precise timing and creative combos, blending bright arcade energy with tough boss fights and dark humor.

What players say

Players call this a spiritual successor to Super Punch-Out!!, but with a grotesque art style that either repels or grows on you. The difficulty is relentless, requiring perfect timing because there is no input buffer and resets are painfully slow.
