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 frantic first-person sports brawler where you swing, wall-run, and slide to dunk on opponents with quick, fluid movement.

What players say

Players praise the core hooking-and-dunking concept but are split on whether the execution delivers. Many call it a buggy tech demo with frustrating boss fights and a short campaign, though some find it fun for a few hours if bought on sale.
