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 brawler that throws celebrities into absurd fights with ridiculous weapons, capturing the irreverent cartoon carnage of the TV show without taking itself seriously for a moment.

About

The twist being, that you play one of various celebrities, such as Marilyn Manson and Carmen Electra. Various weapons appear in the ring during play, such as a chainsaw and crossbow. The game is set out in 6 "episodes" of 3 matches each, and you can play either of the celebrities in each match.
