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

Playing a straightforward, faithful 1990s arcade-style beat 'em up with a friend on the same screen.

What players say

Players describe this as a straightforward 1997 Korean arcade beat 'em up ported to Steam, delivering nostalgic 16-bit action for genre veterans. However, several reviewers warn that controller support is broken, with no d-pad option and the pause mapped only to the keyboard. Opinions praise the retro feel and co-op fun while citing weak enemy variety and an overall lack of originality.
