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 goofy, fast-paced party brawler where players slam and squish each other with nothing but their butts and super-powered underwear.

What players say

Players praise Brief Battles as a fun local multiplayer party game with simple controls and chaotic brawls, ideal for social gatherings. The lack of online play is a common disappointment, and some note the platforming can challenge new players.
