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, intuitive twin-stick melee brawler with a minimalist, arcade feel and a focus on challenge.

What players say

Players praise a minimalist twin-stick brawler that ditches guns for punches and street signs, but nearly everyone notes the tiny scope, most finish it in under an hour. The game delivers a quick, escalating challenge and the lack of mouse support forces a controller or awkward keyboard setup.
