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 chaotic, fast-paced party game where cutesy characters battle in quick 3-minute matches with a mix of shooting, looting, and monster hunting.

What players say

Players adore the character art and music but agree the online multiplayer is dead, leaving bots or local split-screen as the only realistic options. Some praise the gameplay as a less scary alternative to Dead by Daylight. Sentiment is split on the English voice acting, with several recommending the Japanese dub instead.
