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 brawler that feels like a stage show, where combat is about crowd-pleasing moves and co-op antics rather than gritty fighting.

What players say

Players like the stage-play gimmick and humor, but split on execution. Many say it is best with a friend, short, and fun for a night, while others find combat floaty and the enemy variety lacking. Technical complaints include no resolution options and crashes on some systems.
