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 and chaotic local multiplayer brawl where one player controls a powerful boss and the others must cooperate to survive.

What players say

Players describe it as an asymmetric party game where one player controls a boss and the others play heroes. It is local co-op only with no bots or online, so you always need three to four people in the room. Some enjoy the hero variety and chase-crush fun, but others find it a shallow knockoff of Crawl with a few unbalanced bosses, limited modes, and a messy combat feel.
