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 collection of four arcade-inspired games that feel like revisiting classic 80s and 90s coin-op action, with bright pixel art and straightforward pick-up-and-play intensity.

What players say

Players praise the authentic arcade feel and the parry mechanic in the beat-em-up, but some find the games too difficult and glitchy, with no save points. The developer quickly patched bugs at launch.
