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

It feels like a frantic, skill-driven arcade hockey match on a frozen lake, with simple controls and lots of multiplayer mayhem.

What players say

Players are split: some find a fun throwback to old console hockey games, especially in multiplayer, but many others report a frustrating single-player experience where the AI rarely loses the puck while the player loses it from a single hit, and faceoffs are near impossible.
