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 fast-paced, top-down cyberpunk brawler where you slice through colorful pixel enemies with a punishing difficulty.

What players say
Players describe Cold Shell as a short cyberpunk beat 'em up with a fantastic retrowave soundtrack, often comparing it to Hotline Miami. The combat is fast and fun, though reviews split on the final boss, which many call unfair and poorly designed. Some note performance issues in busy areas.
