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 punishing but rewarding arcade-style brawler where every enemy demands you learn its attack patterns to survive.

What players say
Players say this is a brutally difficult 2D action game that demands near-perfect execution and pattern memorization. Combat is simple yet punishing with a weird control scheme, and the game can be beaten in about an hour.
