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

The game feels like a chaotic, over-the-top brawl in an ancient Roman arena, demanding quick reflexes and creative brutality.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun but repetitive hack-and-slash with a Borderlands-inspired art style. The story is minimal, the multiplayer is dead, and long-time players warn about a game-breaking bug that resets accounts. Reviews are split on the overall enjoyment, with many calling it acceptable for a low price.
