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

What players say

Players love the nostalgia of the original Mad TV, but warn the game is still early access and feels incomplete. Many say it gets repetitive after many hours and a tutorial is badly needed. Playing with friends is recommended, and the lack of a clear end goal leaves some feeling done too soon.
