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 local multiplayer fighter where every shot bounces off walls and each hit is a knockout, with chaotic modifiers that drastically change the rules round by round

What players say

Players describe it as a pure-skill party game where everyone has only one bouncing bullet, so the challenge is about when not to shoot. Matches are short and good for a few hours with friends, though some wish for more control over modifiers. Long-time testers say it keeps bringing them back.
