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, arcade-style brawler that feels like a nostalgic, tough-as-nails co-op crime fighter.

What players say

Players are sharply split: some call it a boring 25-to-40-minute beat 'em up with only a jump and punch, no special moves, bad hitboxes, a poorly executed bike stage, and trivial difficulty, while others praise its classic style, digitized-looking art, three distinct heroes, and catchy music but still agree it is short and lacks challenge.
