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 medieval hack-and-slash where you command armies and dash through hordes of enemies, balancing quick combat with light strategy.

What players say

Players are split on this short action game. Some enjoy its simple, mindless fun, while others criticize the barebones mechanics, terrible AI, and lack of story. A major complaint is the forced controller support and overpowered trebuchets that break the game.
