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 hand-drawn co-op brawler with a lighthearted, colorful, and casual feel that suits couch multiplayer sessions.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn visuals and character variety, but split on difficulty. Some find it too hard with scarce healing, while others report a balance update smoothed things. The combat is described as fun but simple, and the game can be finished in a single sitting.
