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 ridiculous and chaotic brawler where robots fight over stylish hats, with fast-paced slapstick combat and a playful rulebook.

What players say

Players finish the story in under two hours and praise the humorous writing and multiple endings. The fencing combat is simple but satisfying once you learn enemy patterns, though some find it barebones.
