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 frantic, fast-paced arena slasher where you freely control your katana's direction to slash through enemies and craft overpowering builds in a cyberpunk or colorful setting.

What players say

Players praise the unique fighting mechanics and stylish presentation, but note there is little content, a single endless horde mode across three maps. The game is addicting and challenging for high-score chasers, with a high skill ceiling. No performance issues reported.
