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.

What players say

Players are split on this indie fighter. Many love the Tim Burton-inspired visuals and quirky character designs, but the majority say the gameplay is janky with unresponsive controls and messy hitboxes. Some find it a fun casual party game, while others call it one of the worst fighting game experiences they have had.
