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 janky, whimsical survival adventure where you dodge hungry dinosaurs while frantically collecting mushrooms with power-ups.

What players say

Players agree this is achievement bait with no real gameplay depth. It is a simple, short platformer where you collect mushrooms across levels, but most reviewers just grind the first level for achievements in under 30 minutes. Many call it an asset flip with basic graphics and mechanics, not worth buying for fun.
