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 superhero power fantasy where you create your own hero or villain and fight alongside or against other players in an open world.

What players say

Players love the core superhero combat and customization but are overwhelmingly frustrated by aggressive monetization, with free accounts limited to just five chat messages per day. Reports of lost accounts and unhelpful support are common, though long-time players still return for the action MMO gameplay.
