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, minimalistic twin-stick roguelite where you rely on environmental traps and bullet reflection to survive short, punishing runs as a cute potato.

What players say

Players are split on Lost Potato. Many praise its clever indirect combat and short runs, but others find it frustrating due to RNG and specific enemy designs like the purple laser enemies. Some compare it favorably to Brotato, while others note that extended play can cause hand pain.
