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, chaotic power fantasy where you grow bigger and stronger while smashing everything in sight.

What players say

Players are split on this early access monster game. Some enjoy the mindless carnage, but most say it is an asset flip with stupid AI, no real building destruction, and frequent crashes that erase progress. Many want to love it but warn the loop gets boring fast.
