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 tense, reactive medieval brawl where every swing and block demands tactical thinking amid chaotic team skirmishes.

What players say

Players almost universally say the game is dead on arrival with no players online and no offline mode, making it unplayable solo. Those who did find matches praise the deep combat system, but split on whether the steep learning curve and connection issues hold it back.
