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 2.5D hero shooter where gravity-shifting arenas and 10-player matches create a chaotic, fast-paced battlefield.

What players say

Players say the game is essentially dead, with almost no one online for multiplayer. The variable gravity gimmick and generic arenas don't make up for repetitive survival mode, poor performance, and an amateurish localization that swaps Portuguese for Spanish.
