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 pixel-art boss rush with a comedic, romantic story about hunting devils in a dystopian city.

What players say

Players describe it as a two-character lesbian Punch-Out with stamina-based combat and creative boss twists. The story is cute and emotional, though controls feel unintuitive at first. Reviews split on the writing quality. The campaign is short, around 4–7 hours, with unlockable challenges.
