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

Racing through destructible mazes in first person, frantically dropping bombs and scrambling to avoid your own explosions feels like a tense, chaotic party game that punishes a moment's hesitation.

What players say

Players say it is a fun Bomberman-like game best enjoyed with friends in short sessions, with lots of mode customization and local multiplayer. Some complain that the online is dead and others dismiss it as a Fortnite clone.
