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 demanding cooperative action RPG where players work together in tactical top-down combat and puzzles against huge creatures.

What players say

Players agree it is a fun but punishing co-op game that demands teamwork, with puzzles and orb mechanics that can cause frustration. The game lacks single-player value and has no checkpoints, forcing restarts on failure, though the challenge system encourages replaying levels.
