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 top-down hack and slash that feels like a cooperative dungeon crawl through mythological realms, mixing loot collection and twin-stick shooting.

What players say

Players praise it as a fun co-op action game that shifts the series to an isometric view, but they consistently note it is very short compared to other entries. Split opinions on the camera and frequent frustration with getting stuck in the environment.
