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 fast and brutal arena shooter where every movement and shot feels fluid and deadly, blending dark humour with psychedelic, post-apocalyptic imagery.

What players say

Players are split on Animalistic. Those who enjoy it call it a fast, violent FPS with satisfying kills and a cel-shaded cartoon look, comparing it to Anger Foot. Critics say the movement feels clunky, ammo is too scarce, and the game is poorly optimized.
