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 chaotic, satirical brawler where Brazilian politicians face off in fast-paced, humor-infused fights that adapt to player skill.

What players say

Players love the absurd premise of beating up Brazilian political figures, but many report broken controls, no controller support, and unbalanced characters that make some fights nearly impossible. The humor carries the short campaign, though a few wish for updates tied to future elections.
