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 stripped-down, old-school 2D fighting game that prioritizes simple, grounded punch-ups over flashy effects.

What players say

Players praise its tribute to classic martial arts movies and the variety of fighting styles, but performance bugs like freezing at the VS screen and the developer abandoning the game in early access draw heavy criticism. Controls feel stiff to some, and the AI becomes frustratingly cheap.
