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

You control a cartoon kaiju in a physics playground, casually toppling buildings and fighting enemies in a colorful, low-pressure sandbox.

What players say

Players call it the best kaiju sandbox sim, praising its mod support and the ability to take cinematic screenshots. They note the combat takes getting used to and the roster of monsters feels small, with many wanting a monster-versus-monster mode.
