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-paced, chaotic beat 'em up with wacky cartoon action, satisfying combos, and retro arcade feel.

What players say

Players praise the combat, art, and soundtrack but note the campaign is short with little replay value. There are complaints about a single save slot, the inability to change characters mid-run, and performance slowdowns for some. A few call out unfulfilled post-launch promises.
