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 gleefully brutal holiday party where casual chat and pizza give way to cartoony hack-and-slash mayhem with a noir edge.

What players say

Players praise the gory slasher vibe and cute-horror contrast, but find the controls clunky and combat floaty, making even early enemies frustrating. The story shifts quickly from a houseparty slasher into a roguelike grind for money, and many say the game is short though the developer is expected to expand it.
