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 fast-paced robot fighting game with visceral punch effects, demanding AI, and a challenging difficulty that rewards strategy and robot selection.

What players say

Players praise the striking art style and music, but warn the controls are sluggish and blocking is tough to learn. The game demands feints and mind games, described as hardcore and similar to Dark Souls in difficulty rather than a typical brawler.
