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 frantic, brutal co-op brawler where you and your allies carve through enemies with relentless katana strikes in a blood-soaked samurai hellscape.

What players say

Players praise the samurai monkey action and tight combat but warn that the early access launch offers only two bosses and levels, making runs short. Co-op players report camera chaos and a missing unstuck button that forces a health-draining workaround. Reviews split between backing the potential and waiting for more content.
