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 chaotic physics-based sumo brawler where players fling wrestlers into arena hazards for quick, messy local multiplayer matches.

What players say

Players say this is strictly a local party game with no online matchmaking or AI opponents, so it needs the right company, up to four friends, to shine. Many call it simple but genuinely fun in that context, especially for quick sessions with a drink.
